If by Office 2004 you mean you were using Entourage then no I don't think so as Entourage keeps them all in a database that pretty much only it can open. I would import them all into your new Outlook. Once you are sure you also have a backup of the old stuff too, you have already said that you do, you could remove the old database but I wouldn't especially bother unless it was more than say a couple of GB.
