You libraries and configuration will be fine, to be on the safe side back 'em up first, but...

Before you uninstall 32 bit remove/replace any references that you have added to the Windows Registry to anything in Program Files (X86)/Calibre2

Specifically I am thinking of file associations for EPUB and maybe other file types, that you established to Program Files (X86)/Calibre2/ebook-reader.exe. Otherwise you may end up with a registry that is in a state where you have to hack it manually, or run it thru a cleaner in order to 'point' EPUB etc at Program Files/Calibre2/ebook-reader.exe

Uninstalls cannot be expected to remove things that the install did not put there in the first instance.

I've noticed some programs wont allow or will ring alarm bells if you install both the 32 and 64 bit version - eg Macrium Reflect.
