So there are two points. New blueprints (only one per engineer) replace previous ones and you have to start again completely if you want the old one. And secondly if you engineer an engineered module then the original engineering disappears and the new one takes it 's place. So store the old one and engineer a new module?

Clean Drags? Or Clean Thermal Spread I reckon.
The difference will be small. I suggest you go dirty and reduce your heat elsewhere in the build. Clean drives might reduce heat a couple of percentage points and then only when maneuvering or accelerating or slowing down. When cruising or resting it's the same. Chain boosting though shows the dirty heat.
On top of that, clean drives draw more power than dirty, essentially cutting in to the thermal load you are saving.
The best way to make your ship run cooler is to reduce it's power draw. Clean drives just are not worth it in my view, and believe me I know as a former clean disciple that loves cool ships and has re-done all his ships with dirty drives.

I noticed I overheated my DBX when fuel scooping with dirty drives and drag drives EE. I dont want that again. I put standard thrusters back on this build and dont even know why I am modding the thrusters on this DBX . I want the clean thrusters for my mining python to stop overheating when scooping on a run. But that wont be getting any EE anyway. Perhaps I will go with thermal spread for this DBX?
My DBX rests at 18% heat, and scoops around 300 at 60% heat near the star. Make the ship run cooler and you'll scoop more. I don't think you will see the benefit of clean drives while supercruising? But go with what you like, that's half the battle and nothing needs to be optimal or even have a reason. Sometimes it's good just to like what you've done with the ship 
Can I see the build please?My DBX rests at 18% heat, and scoops around 300 at 60% heat near the star. Make the ship run cooler and you'll scoop more.

Sure thing. Last grab I have of it was just before setting sail for Colonia a few weeks back. It may run a touch hotter with the deep dive doodads like the hangar and AFMU.

If it's an explorer build, you want the stripped down EE to save weight and increase your jump range.
Don't forget that when travelling, you should switch everything off that you don't need. That's Power distributor, cargo hatch, shields, limpet controllers, shield boosters, AFMUs, docking computer, SRV etc.
Here's my 73 LY DBX, which has no problem with heat when scooping. Switching those things off makes a massive difference.
I think the "edcd" bit isn't needed since the io site got sorted?
Does this work? : https://s.orbis.zone/6rx2
I think that is the build that @d8veh put up.
