Since we have 53 classes with differing abilites, I'm going to take a swipe at trying to knock out some of them from consideration from the pathfinder classes. Feel free to disagree, this is a discussion, after all.
Beguiler: T3: Should be converted..Spell list adjustments may be necesary. As a full caster, capstone is not required. Possible bump to T2.
Dragon Shaman: T3: 2 other shamanic classes already exist, not counting PrC's. Dragon Disicple takes a good portion of this classes abilities, save for the lay on hands. On a side note, I have always loathed this class. It combines some auras, some lay on hands (better than the stock paladin), and some RDD stuff.
Duskblade: T3: A crowd favorite. I beleive Oni has a rework in mind.
Knight: Toss it. Paladin (and anti-paladin) can funtion just fine in this role.
Ninja: T4-T5: Paizo may already have a class for this.
Scout: T4: POssible rework, though ranger may make this obselete/worthless
Spelltheif: Pretty Bad. Mixing rogue and caster already exists in other classes.
Warlock: Rebuild it. This class (progeny of a demonic or diabolic curse) is too goot to toss.
Warmage: Toss it. Sorc is more than adequate for it.
Wu Jen: Toss it. Can do the same thing with existing casting classes.
Favored Soul: Consider slight touch up. Consider removing second casting stat and combining down to one. Consider adding divine grace as a class feature. COnsider adding bloodline powers for angelic/demonic bloodlines.
Spirit Shaman: Poor second cousin to the druid. Consider re-doing entirely. Maybe the Binder class can be worked mechanically with new RP to make this class viable.
Shugenja: Toss it
Psionic Classes: Defer. Erudite, Psion, Wilder are all major casters. Ardent, Divine Mind, Lurk, Psychic Warrior are weaker versions. Souilknife is a class that is loved and hated, consider revising, possibly mixing in Illumine Soul and Soulbow class features?
Archivist: T1: Slight tweaks. Eliminate dual casting stat. Great flavor. Cool powers.
Dread Necromancer: T3: Torn. I love this class for it's potential...
Tomb of Battle Classes: Examine for rework. Some skill dependant abiliteis will need to be tweaked.
Tomb of Magic: Major Rework for all three classes required. I'd recommend redoing Shadowcaster if folks REALLY want, and Binder, but ignoring and phasing out truenamer.
Magic of Incarnum: Oy Vey....where to start....this book has a rad mechanic that, while neat, is totally underwhelming...these classes would need MAJOR love 
Factotem: I'd recommend phasing this class out. Any tweak to is will make it outshine many other skill monkey classes.
Dragon Adept: Phase out....un-needed. Basically, it's a dragon themed warlock with a breath weapon instead of eldrich blast (but similar damage curve).
Healer: Toss it
Marshal: Moved to PrC already.
