Rather than trash the MB hard drive, I'd format it then CCC the external drive. If you want to keep some things, I'd copy them over to the external drive, then nuke, then clone.
If the external doesn't have the space available, delete what you want, make a folder on the root of the MB and name it 'Keep' or whatever, put everything you want to keep in that folder, select 'incremental' in CCC, and also select "Protect root level items." It should say "bootable" on the right side.
