Yes. Provided your new install is done right (make sure it works first), you should be able to move any and all add-ons to the new drive. Might be a good idea to also replace the "stock" FS9.cfg file on the new drive with whatever one you had before.
More advice: before moving everything over, do some house-cleaning of those folders. Get rid of any stuff you haven't used or don't like so much.

Good advice - thanks.
