As an update to this for anyone interested:

Three things about using a Passenger's Seat as a Driver Seat:

-The Seatbelt Bracket on the Passenger Seat is removable, and must be swapped to the other side

-An extra hole needs to be drilled in each rail, in order to line up with the bolt holes in the floor

-and the lastly you need to accept that the Seat Slider Adjustment/Seat Recliner Levers will now be on the opposite sides

Notes:
*Manual Seats are quite a bit lighter than Power Seats
*Manual Seats are also slightly lower than Power Seats (The front of the Power Seats are Higher)
