Most of your training or topping you want to do while she's still in veg. I wouldn't remove your fan leaves - they are your solar panels/storage units for the plant. Light actually also passes through them - but if you feel some are in the way, gently tuck them under a branch, out of the way - definately better than removing it.

Good luck!
Maybe this will help. It shows where to cut for FIM or Topping. Credit to M Blaze, I got the pic from his thread.
No not to the bottom! That is meant to be the top of the plant, I think most folks top when it reaches four or five nodes high. (Each node is where a pair of leaves is coming out) The area it shows to cut is at the top where the new growth is coming out.
