Hello,

On my site I had a bunch of poorly named subdirectories for SEO, ie www.domain.com/stuff. I renamed some dirs for SEO, deleted some pages, and added some. Google still indexes those old pages for now, and they have some PR. What should I do with those old pages? Should I just redirect to the new ones or???

Redirect Permanent (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html.en#redirectperm) is your friend :)
