GTK 1.2 and 2.x can perfectly coexist together. They use different
filenames for their libraries and include directories. Installing GTK+ 2.x
and companions shouldn't overwrite or disturb anything existing. You can
even use different global themes for GTK 1.2 and 2.x simultaneously.
There's no need to remove the GTK 1.2 files.

(Restriction: this is how builds and installations behaved on the
Unix-based computers I know. Though I'm not absolutely sure I believe this
should be the default behaviour on any system and distribution.)
