 * I’ve uploaded a new theme but it seems to be missing some plugins, but because
   it already exist wordpress won’t allow me to upload another one of the same kind
   before deleting the existing one. If I delete the current one and upload the 
   new one, will I have to redo all the changes all over again or will it plug right
   in with no problem?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * You will have to redo any settings youve changed since install, your best bet
   in this case is to upload the files manually, just copy the files over right 
   from the zip itself rather then use the wordpress installation… I had an issue
   installing my theme as well and once I did it manually everything seemed to work
   just fine

 * When you say plugins are these built into the existing theme?
 * Just rename the folder of the existing theme, or add the new files via ftp to
   a new folder.
 * If you are uploading via the Admin area, rename the zip or the folder inside 
   the zip, for the new theme.
 * Backup your old theme first, and checkout using a child theme going forward!
