Yes, you can indeed rpm -e them. However, there is another route you can take. 
The nvidia rpms from ATrpms include the ability to have multiple versions 
installed on your machine at once, and switch between them, using the 
nvidia-graphics-switch script. Kill off X, issue the command 
"nvidia-graphics-switch <version>" where version is 4363, 5336, etc., then 
reboot (to play it safe) or restart X.
