I would take matters in my own hands and go to the local FSDO. It's not a big deal. Call, make an appointment, fill out a paper 8710 applying for an ATP and that's it. Take your logbook with you in case they want to check it to verify the times (they did with me). If you have SIC only type ratings those will remain SIC only, as the type ratings are not tied to your level of certificate. i.e. in theory, you could have a 747-4 PIC type and a private pilot license only.
Edit: I thing things have changed since I got mine removed. I keep hearing people talking about some 25 hours under the supervision of a PIC in type... so...
