I did this conversion on a 65 corvair and a 68.  If you have a complete
donor car, all you need to do is swap all the parts.  I did not have to cut
or drill anything all the mount points, etc. were already in place.
Apparently it made sense to build the body so it could be equipped either
way during manufacture.
