Applications that required installers won't likely copy over like that, but the rest should in general. Email can be trouble, though -- all the files are there, but that doesn't mean Mail will want it restore piecemeal.

In general, I'd really suggest -- on first startup of the new drive -- migrating from the backup and removing what you don't want, rather than selectively restoring. (Don't migrate AFTER the first startup -- do it when it prompts you to 'copy from another Mac'.)
