My tensorflow model is defined as follows:

X =  tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None,training_set.shape[1]],name = 'X')
Y = tf.placeholder(tf.float32,[None,training_labels.shape[1]], name = 'Y')
A1 = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(X, num_outputs = 50, activation_fn = tf.nn.relu)
A1 = tf.nn.dropout(A1, 0.8)
A2 = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(A1, num_outputs = 2, activation_fn = None)
cost = tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits = A2, labels = Y))    
global_step = tf.Variable(0, trainable=False)
start_learning_rate = 0.001
learning_rate = tf.train.exponential_decay(start_learning_rate, global_step, 200, 0.1, True )
optimizer = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate=learning_rate).minimize(cost)

Now I want to save this model omitting tensor Y (Y is the label tensor for training, X is the actual input). Also while mentioning the output node while using freeze_graph.py should I mention "A2" or is it saved with some other name?

Although you haven't defined the variables manually, the code snippet above actually contains 15 saveable variables. You can see them using this internal tensorflow function:

from tensorflow.python.ops.variables import _all_saveable_objects
for obj in _all_saveable_objects():
  print(obj)

For the code above, it produces the following list:

<tf.Variable 'fully_connected/weights:0' shape=(100, 50) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected/biases:0' shape=(50,) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected_1/weights:0' shape=(50, 2) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected_1/biases:0' shape=(2,) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'Variable:0' shape=() dtype=int32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'beta1_power:0' shape=() dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'beta2_power:0' shape=() dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected/weights/Adam:0' shape=(100, 50) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected/weights/Adam_1:0' shape=(100, 50) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected/biases/Adam:0' shape=(50,) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected/biases/Adam_1:0' shape=(50,) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected_1/weights/Adam:0' shape=(50, 2) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected_1/weights/Adam_1:0' shape=(50, 2) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected_1/biases/Adam:0' shape=(2,) dtype=float32_ref>
<tf.Variable 'fully_connected_1/biases/Adam_1:0' shape=(2,) dtype=float32_ref>

There are variables from both fully_connected layers and several more coming from Adam optimizer (see this question). Note there're no X and Y placeholders in this list, so no need to exclude them. Of course, these tensors exist in the meta graph, but they don't have any value, hence not saveable.

The _all_saveable_objects() list is what tensorflow saver saves by default, if the variables are not provided explicitly. Hence, the answer to your main question is simple:

saver = tf.train.Saver()  # all saveable objects!
with tf.Session() as sess:
  tf.global_variables_initializer().run()
  saver.save(sess, "...")

There's no way to provide the name for the tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected function (as a result, it's saved as fully_connected_1/...), but you're encouraged to switch to tf.layers.dense, wich has a name argument. To see why it's a good idea anyway, take a look at this and this discussion.
