Well that's some AUCTeX stuff where they probably don't use a normal  
keymap to define the tool bar.

To come up with an answer, I did this on the emacs lisp source code  
(comes with the Aquamacs .app bundle, in Resources/site-lisp):

grep "Preview Here" -r *

Now I saw where this icon was defined (prv-emacs.el):

(defun preview-mode-setup ()
   "Setup proper buffer hooks and behavior for previews."
   (set (make-local-variable 'desktop-save-buffer)
        #'desktop-buffer-preview-misc-data)
   (add-hook 'pre-command-hook #'preview-mark-point nil t)
   (add-hook 'post-command-hook #'preview-move-point nil t)
   (easy-menu-add preview-menu LaTeX-mode-map)
   (unless preview-tb-icon
     (setq preview-tb-icon (preview-filter-specs preview-tb-icon- 
specs)))
   (when preview-tb-icon
     (define-key LaTeX-mode-map [tool-bar preview]
       `(menu-item "Preview Here" preview-at-point
		  :image ,preview-tb-icon
		  :help "Preview on/off at point")))

Ah, so there's a convenient `preview-tb-icon' variable, but we can't  
just set it to nil.

So, let's try to remove the icon after it was added.  That's really  
easy:


(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [tool-bar preview]  nil)

Now we just need to do this after entering latex-mode:

(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda ()
	(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [tool-bar preview]  nil)))

The last bit is untested - try it out!

When I toggle my tool bar with the toolbar toggle button, I get what  
is shown in the attached screenshot.  Looks good to me.
You seem to be taking out all of the icons instead, is that right?
