By definition, switching to a different forcefield like that usually requires 
the regeneration of the system's topology, so your new system will be 
different from your old one anyway. In addition, you may need to rename the 
atoms in the coordinate files obtained from previous gromos runs to match 
those in the charmm27 residue files.
