They really didn't omit any letters from the language. They changed the way they are treated in dictionaries. As a background, the Spanish alphabet is the same as in English, with the addtion of 4 simbols: ch, ll, ñ, and rr. In older dictionaries, words beginning with those characters are oragainzed into sepatate sections. For example, the verb "llamar" would be in the "ll" section, and not with the "l" section. Simularly, "chorro" would be in the "ch" section, and not in the "c" section. This was all very confusing for non-Spanish speakers, so the Academy elected to eliminate those separate categories.

New dictionaries do not have a separate section for the "ll" and "ch". However, neither the spelling of words nor their pronunciation changed at all.
