Default Swap board from a GC2-DMS drive to a D2C drive? Swap lens units?

The lens in my nephew's GC2 Wii was broken (near-contant DREs, even on original discs). The GPU and GC memory card slots are bad in my GC2-DMS Wii. Because my nephew was visiting from out of state last week and I had already arranged to RMA mine, I swapped my modded drive for his bad one. The problem is, I had already purchased a Wii to swap in a D2C before doing the RMA (didn't want to risk my GC2-DMS). I'd still like to send a D2C with my RMA (paid, out-of-warranty; Nintendo already fixes DRE drives for free so it's not fraud). Before I do that, I need to know: will a D2C drive's assembly work fine with the board removed from a GC2-DMS drive and vice-versa? If the answer to that is "no," then can I swap laser/lens assemblies without adjusting anything?
