It would of course be more cost effective to use the existing system
with a replacement suppression chemical. Your system likely had
Halon 1301, which has been replaced with the FE series of
extinguishants. Retrofits have been addressed, as with the FE-25.  I
still have some older Halon 1211 hand held extinguishers, and have
begun to replace them with FE-36 tanks.  You may wish to check out
their site for their specs and responses to environmental issues:
