It's not a bad idea to have the old kernel available as a fallback, in case something gets screwed up with the newer kernel.

If new kernel version is working fine and then there is no need to keep earlier version. Newer kernel versions work fine most the time but use it for a while to make sure that everything is ok.
You can un-install earlier version through Synaptic only. Search earlier version through search box in Synaptic and mark it for removal.

There's another way to remove kernels without synaptic, although using synaptic is much easier. Here's a link to a tutorial:

But I agree with Reed. I like to have some extra kernels available just in case.
