Hi Kevin, I suspect the answer is no. You will still have the iPhotos application resident on your Mac (Go to Finder>Applications>iPhoto) and you will see it there. You can launch it and it will look at your iPhoto library as it was at the time of OSX update AND conversion to Photos. Imported photos SINCE the migration are not backwards-visible in iPhotos but your images as they were at the time of migration are visible in both iPhoto and Photos. All future Imports go to Photos library only.
Ronni may have some higher level tips but if you have Photos on your Mac, it is implied the OS you have is tailored for this environment so deleting Photos not a good idea.
