It shouldn';t make any difference. Anaconda and v3.4 can coexist. But removing the older distro should be fine too, it just makes anaconda your default for all Python scripts. > 2) Will installing Anaconda cause any problems with my existing Vim > 7.4 installation?

The syntax highlighting is not powered by Python, its simply a bunch of regex patterns. Depending on your vim there may be a Python interpreter to execute Python macros but I believe that's implemented as a library inside Vim it does not use the system interpreter. So even if you deleted all Pythons from your PC vim would not be impacted. > to reinstall Vim after installing Anaconda for Vim to be able to find > Python?
