the answer is yes you can use the EMI image and still have strictly L2, but why?
the 3550-12G's come with EMI standard the 3550-12,24, and 48 boxes come with SMI unless you specify EMI. You can always upgrade SMI to EMI later with the appropriate license upgrade. You could also save a buck or two by getting the 2950 line of switches. No routing ever, and somewhat scaled down QoS capability. Depends on what you want and need.
