Question Transferring from genuine Mac disk

Okay, I finally got my Hackintosh up and running. Thank you, PCWizComputer for iPC! Worked like a charm on my Gigabyte P35-DS3R.

But now how do I get my old data to the new machine? I have years of data that have come through untold cycles of Archive & Install upgrades on a long string of genuine Macs. I considered using Carbon Copy Cloner, but figured that may overwrite or delete kexts necessary for the Hackintosh. I'm running vanilla kernel, but obviously some modified kexts are in the system. What's the safest way to move things like user accounts to the new system? I know sometimes applications put keys or software dongles in hidden directories in user accounts, which is why I considered CCC instead of moving the account directory manually. Any tips?
