Remove (or replace) compass bearing marks:

BTW for those who want the original bearing marks back, open your menu.ini and find the binos block, you'll see that the tga being used is bearing2.tga (IIRC), change it back to bearing.tga (IIRC) and the game will use the original file I left in there. Must have been clarvioant that day.

Remove Slideout Compass:

Youre request can be done easily. I just took a quick look into the file and its about 3 little changes:
first, make backups of [SH3 install]\data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini and one of [SH3 install]\data\Menu\cfg\Dials.cfg
second, edit the menu_1024_768.ini and find the string [G3F I300] in there.
You've got to delete the following eight blocks (the ones 'g3f i300' to 'g3f i307'). (That's no problem because no blocks are following behind them in this section).
Then third, go to the ...\data\Menu\cfg\Dials.cfg to it's very end and delete the the block there (which begins with [Dial 52]). You should also go to the beginning of the dials.cfg and decrease the DialsNo setting by one.
Let us know whether it worked out, but there shouldn't be any problems.

I personally use a mod that not only has the compass but also has huge slideout depth and speed guages.
