redirects will kill your rankings!! Fresh content is a good thing (within reason...i.e. totally different subject matter is death, but fresh content about e-comm should be OK). So I'd update the text on your exisitng pages. Bots like the fresh content as it re-assures them that your site is not stale.
If you do remove and pages you can add the fact that they have been removed in robots.txt or mabye it was your .HTAccess file (one of those you can tell bots "page xyz.cfm is gone"). Oterwise they think pages are going missing and lower your rank. If you rerplace files with new file names, those files I just mentioned can also be used to tell bots "file xyz.cfm can now be found at abc.cfm"). HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
