Install the previous version of Illustrator. Locate the .ACB color book files related to Pantone. On the Windows platform the path is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator\Presets\en_US\Swatches\Color Books. Make copies of those ACB files for safe keeping. Then place copies of those .ACB files into the corresponding folder in the current version of Illustrator.
