How to Remove "Headers" and "Footers" from Executable Files

I am attempting to remove the header and the footer from an executable file so that I can compare one executable file to another, and I was wondering if there was a way in order to remove the information that Windows adds to compiled programs within Visual Studio or C++ (or any other Microsoft Programming language). I am have been told to use PEExplorer, but I was also wondering if there was any other w ay to remove the "time stamp" from inside of the executable along with any other information stored in the header that is set each time the application is compiled and does not have anything to do with the actual executable binary code that is compiled when the user builds a new project within Microsoft compilers.

If anyone could provide any suggestions to how to remove the header information and just have the "guts" of the executable that is being used would  be greatly appreciated.
