As for Mr. Terrific, he had no connection with Terry Sloane and was inspired
by the Spectre telling him a story about Terry...and later being retconned
into being a Terry-level polymath rather than just very very good. Same way
Barry Allen was inspired to become The Flash by having read comic stories
about the Earth-2 character and then getting similar powers. So Michael Holt
can stick around as Mr. T. On the other hand, Courtney's rod and belt should
really disappear as those are directly from Earth-2 sources (both built by
Earth-2's Ted Knight prior to the time period in which Crisis occured).

The interesting question is whether Robin-2, Huntress-2, Green Arrow-2,
Speedy-2, etc. have appeared on Earth-2. And whether Iron Munro has just
disappeared completely due to his role as a post-Crisis "replacement" in
the '40s for Superman (he and Fury I are really the only two of those
pure replacements to get any real play in the last few years, and she
went off with Theymscyria).
