Solaris, delete install files

Hi
I would like to know if and what installation files can be deleted on a sun solaris server.
From the listing below there are several files that I would like to delete in order to get some free space on the disk.
Is it safe to delete zip, gz and Z files files located in silent_install or will they be used e.g. during uninstall?
Does there exist any maintenance guide for Solaris giving guidelines in how to maintain solaris, do's and don't's?
