upgrade question

Wanting to go from 32-bit Windows 10gR1 to 64-bit Windows 10gR2.

Saw this in the upgrade manual:

If you are installing 64-bit Oracle Database 10g software but were previously using a 32-bit Oracle Database installation, then the databases will automatically be converted to 64-bit during the upgrade to Oracle Database 10g except when upgrading from Release 1 (10.1) to Release 2 (10.2).

Note:
The process is not automatic for the release 1 to release 2 upgrade, but is
automatic for all other upgrades. This is because the utlip.sql script is not run during the release 1 to release 2 upgrade to invalid all PL/SQL objects. You must run the utlip.sql script as the last step in the release 10.1 environment, before upgrading to release 10.2.

All fine and dandy. Here's my question: Can I install 10gR1 64-bit on the new server, copy a cold backup over from the 32-bit system, bring up the database, run the utlip.sql script and then proceed with the upgrade. I have a TAR (er, uh, SR) open with Oracle about this but figured I'd ask here too. If not, I can probably find space on 32-bit 10gR1 server but that would double my copying and it's a fairly large database.

Thanks,
-joe
