Honestly I just convert on the fly in game. It is dead easy to do with Dragons at Dawn and almost as easy with classic D&D. I just look at the key stats/info and ignore all the other complexity-makes-my-head-hurt crap.
This is how I do it as well. Conversions from older editions to 3E/4E does require alot of work, but this has to do with the nature of those editions. In older editions all you really have to do is assign HD, AC and all that stuff. Calculating AC is done by using this forumula:
20-[3E AC]=[AD&D AC]
HD remain the same, and for the rest simply ignore alot of 3E stuff, and assign the other attributes as you see fit. That said, I have started doing some conversion work in this forum.
