There are two approaches to conversion: (1) convert what's active and preserve the old system indefinitely for reference access; (2) convert everything 100% so the old system can be retired.

It seems that Eric has been trying for #2, which is fine if doable.  But #1 is also a reasonable option and if the nature of the beast makes #2 acceptable, going for #1 is a plan I would definitely support.
