You should just need the vmlinuz and initrd files, anything else is optional. Of course you'll need to edit your grub.conf to take account of where everything is. I think you should be OK doing all this from a running system. The only gotcha is you should make sure the (correct) boot partition is mounted when you're setting up grub or you can get mightily confused.
