As I recall, and having done this, racial variant traits replaces one or more standard racial traits. Once something is replaced, you get an error if you try to replace it again (i.e. pick more than one alternate). I did this with a 'lizard-centaur' sort of critter (the Zoats from WFRP), and the several variants each replaced the 'sub-type' racial trait I built into the base form. While there were other alternate racial traits that replaced things possessed by all Zo'ah't, the sub-type was required: tortish? lizardic? serpentine? aquatic serpentine? Your selection might give you access to other variations ...
