Josiah,

As I (mis)understand it, how about the good old Knockout group?

0) Give the black outline round the letters a white fill,

1) In the Appearance palette click the white Fill to select (only that), then in the Transparency palette set the Opacity to 0,
2) Select everything and Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group everything,
3) In the Transparency palette tick Knockout Group.

More or less as in here:

I'm also not quite sure what the end result should look like.

Maybe like this?

first effect on the group 

second effect on the layer

result

Josiah,

Seeing the quite different interpretation by Hans-Jürgen, which may well be closer than my initial one, I believe some clarification may be called for.

It can be rather simple, such as a few arrows pointing into your first image with a description of which you wish to get rid of, and also comments on the current suggestions/replies as they appear.

Here is yet another interpretation, made a bit like the first as a crude sample,
