Resizing the screen display from 64x16 to 32x16 was almost the only change that ever had to be made from Mod 1/3 Level 2 BASIC to Extended Color BASIC. In text programs. Of course, if there were graphic characters or pokes involved, a bit more work to be done. And let's not talk about ML routines in DATA statements. (So far as I know, the masters of that on both platforms were Leo Christopherson and our own Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, and both of them wrote new material for the new platform and didn't translate their older stuff -- I would have loved to see Leo's Dancing Demon rendered on the Color Computer).
