Atlas V
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_V https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_V
has a first stage powered by the Russian RD-180 engine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-180 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-180
and a Centaur upper stage powered by RL10 engines

Vulcan Centaur
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_Centaur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_Centaur
has a first stage powered by Blue Origin's BE-4 engines
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BE-4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BE-4
and a second stage known as Centaur V. It's an upgraded version of the Centaur, also powered by RL10 engines

Vulcan has only flown once, in part because of slow delivery of BE-4 engines, which to date have not powered any other launcher (though they are meant to eventually power New Glenn).
So I don't know what you mean by "Vulcan Centaur engines replacing the Russian RD-180".
