Moving from one OS X drive to another OS X drive

I have a pair of hard drives in my Hackintosh, one is the boot device and the other is the one with my Time Machine backup on it. There's a new method of building a hack that I want to try. I plan to use a different drive to do this.

Once I've done it, I will still have access to my Time Machine drive. How do I go about getting applications and stuff onto what will be my new boot drive? Can I simply do a time machine restore of everything or is there a better way?

I'm thinking of simply re-installing applications and then using the backup to restore stuff such as iPhoto libraries, iTunes stuff etc etc?
