regarding removing vNIC, you don't have to do that.

just edit settings of the VM and remove tick mark 'Connect at Power On' (Hope you are using Automatic MAC Generation, not manual)

power it on, change Host name, network settings etc.. should be sufficient.

If you have cloned VM using vCenter server, then consider using Customisation Specification manager to automate it for you.
