Hi Mike,
Yes, you can easily make that swap by just changing the covers. The R&P ratio is slightly higher for a Sonett gearbox, but it won't make too much difference. I did the opposite this spring- swapped a Sonett box into my '68 96. Don't worry about trying to source cover gaskets- blue RTV works just fine.
Make sure you check the tightness of the nuts on the three shafts on the good transmission. They tend to loosen up over time and is one of the primary failure modes. Search through some of my other posts here for a more detailed discussion on this subject.
