If the hardware is the same the operating system should install the same. If not, then you won't have an exact copy of the operating system and will be at some risk.

Although you say your have the install stuff, do you also have the patches?

On the systems I maintain(ed) my restores included a full install on the new hardware, all patches, all hardware device additions, add the backup edge, then do a restore from the last backup, whether from the backup hard drive or the burned CD. Helps that the programs and data have their own filesystems and that the backup is on one also.
