Is anything stopping you from swapping the old drive to the new system, or the image of it to a new drive? I got a new laptop and just put the drive from the old one in the new one and that was it.

Prerequisites:
The same version of Ubuntu is installed on both machines. The architecture (32/64 bit) can be different.
Step 1: Store the list of installed packages
Run the following command on the source machine to store the installed packages names in ~/pkglist:
sudo dpkg --get-selections | sed "s/.*deinstall//" | sed "s/install$//g" > ~/pkglist
Step 2: Transfer your config
Use scp or rsync or even a flash drive to transfer your home directory (~/, ~/.), the source list (/etc/apt/sources.list) and any other files you customized or installed (like apache config under /etc or softwares on /opt) from the source machine to the target one.
Step 3: Install packages
On the target machine run the following command in a failsafe terminal session to install your packages:
sudo aptitude update && cat pkglist | xargs sudo aptitude install -y

There may be a change to Ubuntu's setup because following these instructions will cause system failure - necessitating a re-installation of the operating system. Best option is to just start from scratch on the new machine.

First off, How to list all installed packages this question covers exporting (then installing) your exact set of packages.
As you noted, most of your configuration will be in /home.
That being said, each time I do this, I start from scratch so to speak. I'll install ubuntu and manually add packages that I know I use, configuring them one at a time. The list of packages installed on your old computer is a good starting place to find different pieces. Once stuff is more or less set up, I'll then copy over just the data files (but not the config files) from my old computer. This does take more time to do, but it's worth it to switch to the newest version. (My old desktop runs 10.04, my new on currently runs 11.10, although I plan on updating that to 12.04 when it has been around for a month to work off any remaining rough edges) But this plan is for if you're ok with a few things working slightly differently than before. If you need things to be exactly the same, go ahead and do the above.

An important thing is to preserve permissions and timestamps. See Copy files without losing file/folder permissions The -a
flag for rsync is ideal for this. Rsync is recommended for large file transfers.
Also consider installing /home on a separate partition if you are just reinstalling the system on the same hard drive. What are the pros and cons of having a separate home partition?

There are several utilities that can make direct copies of your file system and some (Norton Ghost for example) can adjust your partitions to adapt to the new disk. Software like this allows you to not only copy from disk to disk but also keep a separate, compressed backup for yourself in the future.
There's also the tool dd
to do this, however it takes a bit more knowledge and research to produce the results that you would like.
There's also filezilla which works well.

Remember that you can easily remove your hard disk from one machine to another without any problem.
Not necessarily, if the new system is a laptop and 1) the drive has a 3.5" form factor or 2) even with the right form factor all drive bays of the laptop are full.

Most configs and personal files will be in /home. For example by default my GNOME theme, shell settings, Chromium history/bookmarks/etc., vimrc, bash_profile, and most settings carried over nicely.
An important thing is to preserve permissions and timestamps. See Copy files without losing file/folder permissions The -a

Remember that you can easily remove your hard disk from one machine to another without any problem.
Not necessarily, if the new system is a laptop and 1) the drive has a 3.5" form factor or 2) even with the right form factor all drive bays of the laptop are full.
