You do it the hard way as you then have to figure out what classes in the HTML match the classes in your custom CSS. What I do is remove unused CSS and clean up the CSS that exists. I find that it's a lot easier to use the classes that exist (in most cases)and fix them. I do add some of my own classes. But overall it's easier to just fix what's there as in most cases, the class names are meaningless and without seeing what the publisher did it would not be possible to know what was done.
