So, just so I'm clear on SE practices... He said that he has no idea what pages were supposed to correspond to old pages. If he just redirects them all to the root (index.cfm), they won't lose the ranking, and over time, the new site will not be blacklisted or anything. Sorry to jump in the middle if this has already been answered, but I'm having a similar problem right now.
