Microsoft Exchange MVP discussing removal of IIS on an Exchange 2003 Server:
"You mean uninstalling IIS? Nope - nothing special. Just go into the
Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components, uncheck IIS, let it
go through, then go right back in and re-check it to reinstall the
components. Once that is done, re-run Exchange setup, and from the install
type dropdown, choose Reinstall. Once that is complete, reinstall SP1 and
you are good to go. Unless these are symptoms of a larger problem, this
ought to fix IIS/OWA.

Exchange 2003 requires IIS for installation, but, apparently, you can REMOVE IIS without removing Exchange. HOWEVER, Exchange apparently modifies some IIS files, so you have to re-run the Exchange Setup to "fix" IIS so it'll work with Exchange (OWA).
And, NO, I've never actually done it. It'd be easy enough to try (risk-free) in a Virtual PC image.
