I have some  mil pouches that  use the old metal clips for attachment purposes- is there a way to use these pouches on a MOLLE vest?

You have ALICE pouches.  They can be used in a pinch on MOLLE but usually only attach to one strip.  There are ALICE adaptors available to make a better fit on MOLLE.  Look for MOLLE Adaptor on e-bay, as they have large MOLLE loops on one side and smaller ALICE loops on the other.

You can take the metal clips off and use zip ties.

Or get Molle Alice adapters.

How does MOLE work?...looks like you hook & loop  the fastners  thru the  vest...Am I right?

You lace the item onto the vest by weaving the flap in and out of each progressive loop until you reach the end.  When fully done and you did not skip any, it is rock solid.

Thanks-  so MOLLE is better or more solid than the old ALICE clips?

when it's done right, it does not flop at all
and a little advice, if you go this route, and have any pouches that use malice clips, be sure you test out how you like their placement before you lock them as they can be a bit of a p.i.t.a to unlock.
other pouches have straps already atached to them, and just have a button snap to lock them, but you weave them the same way as shown in the pic
