Ortho swap from 126 to 116?

I would like to remove the ortho bits from an early 126 to put in my 116 with velour. Has anyone done this? Is it considerably more work than I am thinking?

In my mind I would simply pull the back off the seat spot the correct pieces, and reinstall in the new seats.

PS the ortho in this particular instance is simply the lumbar with the turkey baster looking pump on the side near the seat belt latch and a dial on the opposite side that moves the lumbar higher and lower.
