Start the 7.5 installer, then choose Install Clean System Folder (you
may have to press Shift-Command-K).  This should produce a fresh System
Folder containing only 7.5.  Then install any non-Apple extensions you
need into the *new* System Folder, and finally, after carefully checking
the *old* System Folder doesn't contain anything you need (PPP & TCP
preferences, fax folder, Claris folder, Eudora folder, disk-cataloging
program's library, etc.), trash it.
