The CLI command of 'sh mac wlan <WLAN ID number>" should provide you with a list of MAC address allowed on a particular SSID.

I myself don't move large number of APs to another controller using GUI.  I always use CLI.  

1.  Get a list of the APs by using the CLI command "sh ap summary".

2.  Put them all into an Excel spreadsheet. 

3.  Use the CLI command "config ap primary <WLC name> <AP name> <WLC management IP address>"
