pretty much.. extract module and run :
pacman -Rddr /path/to/extractedmodule <packagename(s)>.pkg.tar.xz
then pacman -Uddr /path/to/extractedmodule <packagename(s)>.pkg.tar.xz to install what you want

--from pacman help:
$ pacman -h -R
usage: pacman {-R --remove} [options] <package(s)>
options:
-b, --dbpath <path> set an alternate database location
-c, --cascade remove packages and all packages that depend on them
-d, --nodeps skip dependency version checks (-dd to skip all checks)
-n, --nosave remove configuration files
-p, --print print the targets instead of performing the operation
-r, --root <path> set an alternate installation root
-s, --recursive remove unnecessary dependencies (-ss includes explicitly installed dependencies)
-u, --unneeded remove unneeded packages
-v, --verbose be verbose
--arch <arch> set an alternate architecture
--assume-installed <package=version> add a virtual package to satisfy dependencies
--cachedir <dir> set an alternate package cache location
--color <when> colorize the output
--config <path> set an alternate configuration file
