Yes, a lot.  tex-site.el is not a user-editable file anymore but will
be generated automatically when AUCTeX is being configured.  You
should get rid of your old tex-site.el and do customizations in your
user init file (e.g. via `M-x customize-group RET AUCTeX RET').

The version an AUCTeX manual applies to is mentioned right at the
start of the manual.
