Depends on config you might need two different initramfs images, add/remove radeon kernel module to blacklist and reboot to switch. Another question if fglrx libs won't interfere with radeon driver (it may try to load proprietary OpenGL libs instead of mesa ones). Maybe with custom lib paths magic and handcrafted xorg.conf files.
Usually if I wanted to try fglrx, I install driver/kmod, do initramfs/blacklist dance (bl radeon, backup current init img, create new one) reboot an test.
When i'm done, I uninstall catalyst and its kmod, remove radeon from blacklist then restore initarmfs image, reboot.
Also I always use driver rpms from RPMFusion (my distro is Fedora). Driver pack from AMD site overwrite xorg and mesa libs.

I use fedora as well. I am afraid to remove kmod-catalyst - there is no guarantee that it will start again when I install it. I am scared of ATI drivers really. IT can make or break my weekend! I would rather try it on a separate kernel or an USB live image.
