My expeirence with using make install for the kernel has been that it keeps around all old copies of the kernel, .config, and System.map inside /boot. Also, it keeps two symlinks to the newest kernel and the just-replaced kernel. So, you will always have a grub entry for the new kernel and the just-replaced kernel, which presumably gives you an easy fallback in case the new kernel fails.
