If it was me I wouldn't bother taking it out.

After all the more the better.

And it would be a royal pain in the ass to do it.

If the insulation is in good nick there should be no real reason to remove it.

Leave it there, there's no need to take it out

I would raise the ceiling joists by say 50mm and then lay warmcell.
It comes in a bag and u loosen it up in a big cardboard box or bucket and just spread it out, works a dream, the dust is non toxic, however do use a good face mask when laying as u will raise dust from the old stuff

The reason I say raise the joist is that this for or insulation is the best value for money.
