I would move over the ergoshifters as well so everything would be the same.

If the Chorus is pre 1995 yes, they use a 111mm BB. Post use the 102mm BB. Your 8 speed cassette is also different than current 9/10 speed cassettes. Better to swap the entire group. I just went through the cassette hub swap for a set of 8 speed wheels. It would have been cheaper to just buy a new wheelset and sell the 8 speed stuff IMO.
