You can modify the contact summary page template and show/hide certain blocks/fields as per your requirements. You should be familiar with HTML to do this.

For more information please read: http://book.civicrm.org/developer/current/techniques/templates/

View the source of the page from a web browser and search for ".tpl". In Contact Summary page, click "View Source" in the browser.  You should find an HTML comment such as:

<!-- .tpl file invoked: CRM/Contact/Page/View/Summary.tpl. Call via form.tpl if we have a form in the page. -->

So 'CRM/Contact/Page/View/Summary.tpl' is the file you need to copy to the custom templates folder and modify.

All the CiviCRM templates are in 'administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates' for Joomla. Make sure you copy the template file to custom templates folder and modify the copy in the  custom templates folder.
