Can I safely remove ASP .NET MVC 2 from Visual Studio if I use ASP .NET MVC 3?

I'm trying to speed up my computer a little bit, and apart from these useful tips I'm trying to remove all Visual Studio extensions and add-ins that I don't use anymore.

I noticed I have both ASP .NET MVC 2 and 3 installed side-by-side, and I don't use version 2 at all.

ASP .NET MVC 2 and 3 side-by-side install

Can I safely delete the old version, or does MVC 3 depend on MVC 2?
I don't want to mess up my working environment.

Should I uninstall NET Framework 3 5?

.NET Framework 3.5 is an additive update to .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 so you shouldn't remove them. If you're fairly certain that you won't need Framework 1.x and are fairly certain that any 1.1 apps run just fine under 2.0 then you can uninstall that.

Yes.
MVC 2 and MVC 3 are completely independent.
