Quick questions:

(1) How do you do a 301 redirect from old page to new page? How is it done?

(2) What you say replace old links with new link, what do you mean? The old links are the ones which i would be 301 redirecting to the new page so why does the old page need replacing? Eventually when the new pages are indexed, ill just delete the old pages.

And of course don't forget to replace old links with new link, though its not necessary in the presence of 301 redirect, but recommended.
