It's fairly simple really.

Stop the incoming Postfix instance
Check mailq to ensure all the mail has been cleared from the mail queue.
Then stop Postfix.in and MailScanner
Set up your current postfix directory in line with the set up docs  
(Pay attention to any smtpd_ lines you have in /postfix.in/main.cf  
and make sure you have copied them over)
Amend MailScanner.conf as per the instructions
When you are happy, fire up just the new Postfix single instance and  
put a test message through to ensure it's being held correctly, then  
fire up MailScanner.

I don't think I have missed anything but it's been a wile since I  
have played with a dual set up :-)
