If you want to spend the time you can always have VS strip the site
for information, but it wont be pretty.  You might want to try and
find the source.

Otherwise you will need to redesign the site ultimately.  Chopping the
site as you need to edit will be fine in the short-term but eventually
it will kill you in support time.

As Jamie state, editing the Masterpage file will be your best best, if
its not dynamic, then that will be your best solution.
