Duplicate kernel-headers after upgrading to 2.6.35

Indeed, I made a mistake:
the new headers are installed at the end of the installation process
with (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel):
su -c 'rpm -ivh kernel-<version>.<arch>.rpm
kernel-firmware-<version>.<arch>.rpm
kernel-headers-<version>.<arch>.rpm kernel-devel-<version>.<arch>.rpm'

But still the problem is the same:
I need to
1)first patch the kernel
2)then compile some apps in userland

and I do not know what kernel headers version (old or new) to use for step 1
and step 2.

PS: here is what I got when I do
rpm -qa | grep kernel-headers
kernel-headers-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686
kernel-headers-2.6.35.6-43.fc13.i686
