Don't know if this'll be useful for your situation, but it works for me.
I use two tools to do this: Retrospect and Conflict Catcher.
1) Restore the G3 "stuff" to a folder on the new drive. Rename the G3's
system folder to "Previous System Folder" (or something of your own
choosing). You can pick and choose what to restore but that could make
the process take longer than necessary, imho.
2) Install Conflict Catcher
3) Have CC8 do your system merge. It's really quite cool and is much
swifter than comparing system folders file by file.
4) File away anything else you might want from the restored folder and
toss the rest.
