var items = document.getElementsByClassName("classname");

Gives me all the .classname classes, how do I update the code to get all those classes but excluding .classname_exclude?

Rather than using the method .getElementsByClassName(), you could use the method .querySelectorAll() (which accepts CSS3 selectors) and use the :not() pseudo class to negate those elements:

var items = document.querySelectorAll('.classname:not(.classname_exclude)');
