Default Mod 639 thumb latch replace?

Just acquired a 639 and have seen some posts regarding upgrading the ambi-thumb-latch to gen-3 to be rid of the screw issues.
Can someone confirm that this can even be done?
I have also purchased a couple of SS slides from a local gun shop that are left-over from destroyed pro-hibs, (makes me want to cry to even say that here) one has left side only latch c/w Novak sight, and other has gen-3 ambi set-up with guarded adjustable sight. I think I could just switch slides around and leave the O.E.M. set-up alone, but was curious if anyone had made the switch.
Thanks in advance, Shaun
