I have a lot of automated youtube emails, but I'd like to keep them. However, it is not important to have the images, so I'm wondering if it is possible to tell gmail to delete any images in x label, but keep the text and hyperlinks.

Load up the email and in the email header click the little drop down arrow:
Then click the Don't display from now on link
You could experiment with turning off the conversations setting. Note this
- Click on the gear symbol in the upper right corner
- Select Mail settings from the drop down
- In the conservation view section on the General Settings tab select "Conversation view off"
Then delete the messages you don't want.
I assume that you will have to delete the messages, or they will reattach themselves to the conversations.
You will now have to turn "Conversation view on" using the earlier procedure

AFAIK there's no way to delete an attached file in gmail without deleting the message thread.
However if these messages only link to YouTube, Gmail will fetch previews to display. If your concern is the storage space, only attached (embedded) images (and other files) will take up your storage space.
To find out for sure, you can use the "Show Original" item in the message's menu. Or just see if the message thread has the "attachment" icon.
To save storage space, you can query for threads with attachments, or even for threads with attachments larger than a given size. (Do a web search for this info.) Then you can delete some of those large threads which will be taking up much of the space.
