Space required for Vista SP1 and SP2?

Hello

I have an old Windows Vista Basic Home Edition machine, I bought in 2006. I have not installed upgrades to SP1 and SP2 again, but I want to get them now. Drive C, where Vista is installed, has only 3 GB of space left free. Could someone please guide me if I should proceed with the upgrade or have more space? How much space would take these updates?

Thanks in advance.
