Overall we had a lot of fun, AD&D (1E or 2E with house rules) is still fun to play IMHO. It does some things better and spells are more fun/interesting than 3E and 5E.

Can a 2e Dragon be converted to a 5e Dragon?

Oozes should probably keep their current hit dice. Dragons have been upgraded a lot since 2E, so any 2E dragon converted like other monsters is likely to be comparatively weak. But since we have only one example, I can only suggest you convert them like other creatures of their size.
