A bit unrelated but would learning other d6 systems like AD&D 2e transfer over to stuff like GURPS or Star Wars d6? My original idea was to use 2e for fantasy style settings and Starwars for sci fi stuff.
There was a d20 Star Wars that's literally the basis for the KOTOR and KOTOR 2 games.
It's neither bad nor great, but it worked alright.

West End Games' d6 system is better, imo.

Huh? No it isn't. D20 is what 3.X and beyond was based on. There are some D20 AD&D 2E retroclones, though.
It's the die you use for the majority of things including attack rolls, therefore it's a D20 game.
There being a "D20 system" is unrelated to this.
When people say "d20" in this context they are usually referring to the system.
AD&D 1e or 2e wasn't such a system. I started with Basic in the early 80s, and I still laugh at the absurdity of the "THAC0" nonsense that was needed.
(I created a d20+adds with increasing ACs independently in the late 80s, by the way. It was obvious. I suspect many people made a version.)
