The old package gets removed if things work as planned.

So when the upgrade process start first the package is removed and the new one installed?

Yup.
Unless you change the name e.g. instead of foo you name your package foo-ng.

I suggest checking out packer which makes aur upgrades easier, it uses the same syntax as pacman i.e. "packer -Syu" will upgrade all your aur packages.

Months ago i used yaourt. Now i am satisfied with cower (only check for new versions and download the PKGBUILD). I want to have control over the process

packer lets you edit the PKGBUILD.
