If the raceways are clean, clean them, and re-install the bearings. Don't like loose bearings? Install caged bearings. Source out BB spindle of proper width and raceway spacing (a English or French BB spindle should fit, depending on cup width) to your intended crankset, put it back together, and leave it at that.
There isn't anything easier then what I've listed above.

P.S.: Don't throw away that crankset.
P.P.S.: Is that seatpost still in the frame? If so, go and put that saddle back on it before you have a hell of a time getting it out without it.
I'd add, if you are going to use the crankset, keep the spindle. At least clean the spindle well and take a good look at the races - they might be really good.
