You won't really have to do anything. As long as the client has the same
DNS name and IP address, Networker will never know that anything has
changed. I've done this many times.
No need to delete the client at all. You may need to use nsradmin to
delete the NSR peer information, but that's pretty easy to look up.
(BTW - if you save the clientid, you can always re-create the client.
Since Networker actually goes by client id, and not client name, that's
how you keep history of old clients around. Just create a dummy client,
using the correct clientid. Then you can browse, recover, etc [within the
scope of your browse and retention policies, of course]).
