But honestly, adapting from 2nd edition to 3rd is not very practical.
It is easier and faster to rebuild from scratch.
For monsters, anyway, that's easier than for characters. At least for those with just Hit Dice, and no class.
If you don't have much time, you can use them as they were, once you changed their AC, THAC0 and saving throws.
Of course, if you can, check their ability scores, skills, feats and special abilities.
