The problem with taking that setup and running g-code through it is that you will not have any inherent form of backlash compensation or closed loop feedback. Operating it in an open loop condition is going to result it slightly worse tolerances that you would think, and the possibility for creep in the encoders.

It can surely be retrofitted with the correct software/hardware interface to make it a vernerable machine no doubt- at a cost.
