[thelist] transition out of package site

[Bob Meetin]

I am preparing to transition a client out of a package site.  It came 
with a ton of generic duplicate content files (50-75). The new site with 
have between 15-20, but with my help, more focused, individualized.  
Almost all the files on the old site are templated html as opposed to 
php on the new.  Page rank to the extent that it means anything is 
abysmal on all pages. 

Is there anything I need to do to tell google about the pages that are 
getting their walking papers?  For the ones that are staying but renamed 
to .php should I do anything such as creating links or redirects to the 
new pages?
