I have owned a 330-12 for a number of years, and am thinking of buying a 330-6. I was recently informed that I could simply remove the octave strings and use the guitar as a 6-string. Is this correct? Have others done this with satisfactory results?

You'll need to do a truss rod adjustment to compensate for the reduced tension. Otherwise, it will work fine as a six-string.
