So I did a archive and install of 10.4 Everything seems to be running ok after a few days, so do I need to keep my previous system folder? Can I trash it to free up some space?

As soon as you're convinced you don't need anything from the old system you can trash it.

make sure you have all the apps you need in your current system then trash it.
