I don't see why that's a problem.  Could you please elaborate a bit?

You could add this to your ~/.emacs to remove `LaTeX-preview-setup'
after the files that add it are loaded:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load 'preview
  '(remove-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-preview-setup))
;; If you're using AUCTeX from Git or release tarball                           
(eval-after-load 'preview-latex
  '(remove-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-preview-setup))
;; If you're using AUCTeX from ELPA                                             
(eval-after-load "auctex-autoloads"
  '(remove-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-preview-setup))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye,
