If it suffices to get rid of the white space on the left, you could add --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \usepackage{nccmath} \everydisplay{\fleqn} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- to the preamble. I don't know how to do this programmatically with the current preview.el, but one could add a defvar "preview-extra-preamble" to preview.el, specifying a string to be added to the preview preamble.
