In terms of an experience breakdown, this is what can be expected from The Skinsaw Murders. There are five parts to the adventure, and four of them have been converted so far. My goal is to have the party reach 8th level by the end of the adventure, which requires that the party achieve a grand total of 65,000 experience points. Burnt Offerings awarded 22,168 experience points, so 42,832 experience points need to come from The Skinsaw Murders.
Part One: Murder Most Foul holds only 4,275 xp. Part Two: Misgivings is much richer with encounters, providing 15,225 xp; just under halfway there. The party should hit 5th level shortly after part two begins, and 6th level by the time they face Aldern. Part Three: Welcome to Magnimar only awards 3,000 xp. Part Four: The Seven's Sawmill offers exactly 10,000 xp, which means the party will hit level 7 during their fight against the cultists. Part Five: The Shadow Clock totals 10,700 xp, bringing the grand total for The Skinsaw Murders to 43,200 xp - clear of our goal of 42,832 xp.

I am seriously considering integrating Gallery of Evil into the end of Skinsaw to give some XP boost and also because I think my group will really enjoy it.
Go for it! Please let me know how it goes. I don't plan on integrating any side-quests that are not part of the adventure path itself, but I'm always interested in hearing about other conversion projects.
If I may suggest that instead of saying 'is not allocated in Skinsaw Murders', you instead say where it is allocated if you already know it. (e.g. most of the parcels from lvl4)It would make this even more helpful.
Sure. The remainder can be found in the previous "Treasure and Leveling" post (http://rustydragon.blogspot.com/2008/07/tangent-treasure-and-leveling-in-burnt.html) but I'll include them here as well, probably with something to indicate that they were allocated in Burnt Offerings.
Yes, I noticed that you had them listed in that post. I think that a note saying 'already allocated in Burnt Offerings' instead of 'not allocated in Skinsaw Murders' would make the whole list easier to read.
Done. Also included a link to the Burnt Offerings list.
Looks good. :)
@Tadkill: If you're looking to cut down on conversion work, "Depths of Avarice" in Dungeon 157 seems like it would fit thematically with the rest of the campaign (though I've only looked through it briefly). You'd either have to convert it to a lower level or wait until later to use it, but at least its already 4th edition ready.
