I question why you're installing Sarge in the first place... Etch is the
current stable version of Debian.
That being said, no it is a not a good idea to remove the running kernel.
Install a new one, boot into it, and when you're sure it's working ok, then
if you wish, remove the old one.
Personally, I always have two kernels available to boot in, just in case. But
then again, my kernels change quickly and frequently the new one is not
better than the old one.
