I pulled a V3 pool off an old hard disk that I had wrongly assumed was

- What are you trying to accomplish?
- Do you only have the pool files or do you also have the pc backup
directories?
Really hard to answer the "how" if you don't explain the "what" and
"why" that you are seeking to accomplish...
I have to agree here. You didn't mention the age of the backups on this
"old" disk, but importing it into your current pool strikes me as
something which would be carry a very high risk, while providing very
little reward.
If the backups on the "old" disk are from three days ago and taking new
backups of that data would take over a week to complete, then importing
them (or at least making them temporarily available to restore in some
fashion) seems reasonable; if they're from three years ago, then there's
considerably less potential benefit.
