Duke, in all seriuosness, check out Dragons at Dawn. It presents Arnesons style of gaming in a very rules light and flexible framework. Notwithstanding that I wrote the game, I think its right up your alley. It never lets mechanics get in the way of "The Story" as Dave put it.
However, another thing for you to look at would be Microlite 20 or even better, Microlite 74 They are great free products that really stremline D&D but use all the familiar mechanincs.

Although I agree with Havard that the Rules Cyclopedia is a great product, it is not a "rules lite" version of the game (its about 200 pages) and probably not what you are really looking for at this point.
BTW, welcome to Blackmoor!
