IF you were careful to do only "universal" "all mac" installations 
and updates of OS 9, then this would work fine.  If you weren't then, 
what you have is a tailored installation - that won't run well on 
anything except a Pismo era system.  IOW, unlike OS X, the classic OS 
was NOT a monolithic installation by default.

Drag over only the apps and their related preferences.

If the apps have fonts associated with them - be careful.  Only grab 
those that you don't already have in OS X and even then, check them 
with Font Book to make sure they're usable.
