Kernel compile problems

Help! I need to build a new kernel. Problem is the source is too big to
fit in the remaining space on the partition. I deleted a number of
directories of source and a number of files that I know I won't be
using. Unfortunately I deleted a little too much. It appears that I will
need to recreate a few of the directories, just for the config.in files
in those directories. Also the make menuconfig isn't displaying
properly. Anyone know what I can and what I cannot delete and still be
able to compile. Also any have any idea about how much free space I will
need to compile? I am installing the 2.2.19 kernel. I now have 92 MB
free (72% used) without any source and after temporarily moving the
/usr/doc directory to another partition. the kernel source is 81MB, 71
after deleting all arch directories except i386.

TIA,
