You can bang out the old head tube races with a drift, by catching the edges. But you need a press of some sort to install them.

And the crown race may or may not be easy to remove, and replace with the Tange one.

That's what I was thinking too... a nice Tange Levin that looks very much like the Campy.
I suspect that only the lower bearing cup and cone need to be replaced, and the Campy upper bits can be used. Might be worth taking it to the LBS for this??
Of course, considering how abused the lower races were, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the upper bearings might be trashed too.
