Thanks Sybrand,
Good point about the installed products info not being in ORACLE_HOME.  So, here's the new plan .......

1.  Shutdown all instances and stop listner
2.  cp $ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7.orig
3.  cp $ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle/admin.orig
4.  De-install all oracle products
3.  Install 8.1.7 SE
4.  Copy over tnsname.ora, listner.ora, init<SID>.ora, etc ... from EE
install to SE install
5. Startup all instances and listner

Any one see any problems with this?
Thanks,
