Is there a correct way to install a SQL Server 2005 instance while leaving the remaining instances intact?

The correct way is to do it through Add/Remove Programs.

When you choose to uninstall from the add/remove programs a SQL instance you will be asked during the uninstallation process which instance you want to delete!
