I usually keep the old kernel in /boot and in lilo.conf until I'm sure the new one works. Then I use 'rm' to remove it from /boot along with its matching System.map and I take the stanza for it out of /etc/lilo.conf and rewrite LILO to the mbr. You will be keeping the source and since it is the same kernel, the modules in /lib/modules will have the same directory as the old one. I mention this, because if I change kernel versions, I remove the old source from /usr/src and the old modules as well. You will just be removing the vmlinuz from /boot since you have not changed kernel versions. Just be sure the new one works first.
