I'm guessing that the old database is mostly empty, no posts or galleries.

If you don't bring in the old database then you will still need to,
Tell Wordpress what theme to use. What name to display. Any menus that need to be listed. Widgets to use and any setup of them.

If you do want to import the old database setup the new install with the same database name and password and then import the old database.

Basically themes, images and plugins are stored in wp-content. Posts, setup, custom menus, widget setup, theme setup and anything like that is stored in the MySQL dayabase.
