Can linux-hardened-headers replace linux-headers?

Hello guys, how's it going? I have hardened kernel installed and i've seen there is also linux-hardened-headers package which i also installed. My question is i still need regular linux-headers if i have those for hardened cos i want to remove linux-headers as i don't need to update both types of kernel headers saving some time. Cheers!  ;)

Headers should match with the kernel(s) you have installed. Unless you build kernel related stuff or use dkms you might not need any kernel headers at all.

Thank you very much for the reply. I will remove linux headers and let only hardened headers just in case something goes wrong by removing them completely.
