Will the old camera lens' work on the new board? Or do I need to buy a new one?

I assume you are talking about using last year's lens carrier board (the circuit board with the lens and all the pins sticking off it that plugs into the main circuit board). If this is the case, yes, it should work fine (assuming you didn't damage the main board when you broke the "lens").

Actually, the CCD is not attached to or held by the lens. The CCD is soldered to the circuit board, and the lens is attached to the board with screws. The lens can be easily removed without affecting the CCD.
