You'll want to approach this project with some time and no deadline,
else you might get frustrated.
Get GNUcash installed and running on the target machine.
In AceMoney, export the largest account you have into a .qif format
file and get that file to where GNUcash can find it. Then in GNUcash,
use File-Import-QIF... and see what it does. Accept the defaults when
asked. When it is done with the import, see what GNUcash thought about
all the stuff it imported.
I'm suggesting starting with the largest account because it will cause
you the most head scratching grief in the conversion process. Smaller
imports can be ferreting out more easily. Maybe you won't have any
grief at all with the import.
If the import is a complete mess you could retry exporting into a
different format, such as .csv, delete everything in GNUcash (may
require a reinstall of GNUcash to get a completely fresh slate) and
try to import that file.
At some point, if this isn't working satisfactorily, you may need to
draw a line in the sand, leave AceMoney behind and start with a new
install of GNUcash and enter transactions as of Jan 1, 2019, for
example. I am a refugee from Quicken. Spent several weeks trying to
import the 50+mb Quicken data file into GNUcash, but I had done
something stupid in Quicken many years ago - I deleted one account
with thousands of transactions. Importing the .qif into GNUcash was a
practical impossibility because GNUcash didn't know what to do with
all those orphaned transactions.
So I simply quit using Quicken as of Jan 1, 2017, switched to GNUcash
and have been a happy camper since then.

Looks like export options include:
*.csv
*.html
*.qif
*.txt
However, I'm not familiar with any of these (at least for these
types of records) or which one would be best for migrating to GNUcash.
