And that's why you shouldn't follow random tutorials, they're usually wrong.

Nowhere in the Arch wiki does it mention having to remove kernels to install an additional one.

Of course you don't have to remove the other kernel. Just configure your bootloader to use the lts kernel instead, just like you set it up to use the original kernel.
