How much do you know about CSS?
How large is the site, and how complex?
You'll have to jump in and try it to find out.
CSS is very user friendly. Even if you know nothing, it can still be used with great success. You can ease your way in. Start by embedding all your font declarations in the <head>. If you begin by only doing this, the project is immediately much more manageable than feeling that the WHOLE site has to be done. This alone could, depending upon the page, clean out a huge amount of junk. You'll get the experience of separating style from HTML, without feeling as if you're in too deep.
Just going through and doing this one thing will give you mastery of font-style, font-variant, font-weight, font-size, line-height, font-family, and more. CSS lends itself to being learned, and implemented, in stages.
CSS-P (postitioning) is what really throws most people. Until you feel that you're ready to tackle it, leave it alone and concentrate on color, background, and the like. You can reap great benefit before even needing to look at CSS-P, and this will prepare you for the more complex considerations and options.
Don't take the view that you should start by rebuilding an entire site (an old one at that). Take your time, and build a new site. The old one has been fine till now. Don't rush it, and set the new higher goal.

I didn't think we were allowed to post our urls. It is done with front page 2000 and my site is approximately 64 pages with 5 departments so to speak. This is not counting the shopping cart.
I have been reading about CSS but I guess I am a bit nervous about getting started with it and I am not exactly sure where to start - I guess chicken is a better word! I don't want to build a new site just make mine easier to make changes.
Again, Thank You So Much!
