The larger one is the choke and check relay, says so on the top. Not sure about the other 2.

The large one is the choke & check. This tells when the alt is charging or not (controls the warning lights coming on/off) and powers the electric choke.

What year is the car? If you can list the arangement of the wire colors, I can tell you for sure on the other 2. I think one may be the relay for the hot start assist motor. The other may be for the AC.

The first one listed is the air conditioning cut relay (don't need). I think one of the black/white wires you listed was meant to be blue/white.

The second one is the hot start assist relay (don't need). Again, I think the black/white stripe x2 is really blue/white x2.

I would keep the choke/check relay. You can get rid of the other 2.

Can we number/letter them in the pic, so that we can tell which is which?

I want to remove my hot start assist and A/C ones on my car

The two small ones in the pic are the AC and the hot start relay. The choke and check is the large one with two plugs in it. You can go by the wire colors to verify.

L= blue, W=white, R=red, B=black, G=green
First is the wire color, second is the stripe color.

A/C
BW, GB, BR, LW

Hot start
GR, LW, LW, B

Maybe we should make a list of the different relays for the different years incase people want to fix them or remove them.
