??Swap carrier/gears from donor housing to another??

??Swap carrier/gears from donor housing to another??
I have a donor 8.8 rear end that has a good 3.55/auburn setup that I want to swap into my truck to replace the 2.73 open. since the spring perches have been altered on the donor rear end it would be much simpler to just swap its contents into the housing currently in the truck.
Theoretically, if I remove the bearings,races and shims from the donor and put them in the other case the same way they came out I should be fine. Is this the case? Or is there enough variation between cases to warrant needing to set it up again? I just want some input before I start tearing everything apart. I'm sure someone here has attemped this.
Thanks
