Yes, consistency is a good point - you don't want people thinking they have gone off to a different site and perhaps being worried that someone else is going to take their money - especially when you have changed the site by losing the side navs etc.
What I sometimes do as well though, is continue the if statements into the head template and swap out buttons and images that are distracting and replace them with things that may not click and are more helpful to the customer.
It depends on the design and selling methods - you may still want to encourage people to buy more by increasing the quantity and a graphic in the head to say free shipping over x amount may do this. As an example.
