Everything that needs to be done can be done with hand tools - all the 
parts that matter can be unbolted from one seat and moved to the other, 
including the seat belt latch thing.  Or you can swap in the belts that 
go with the seats, a bit more work.

I had to do this with one set of seats I swapped into my 82 coupe, can't 
remember if it was the grey leather 4kq seats (probably) or the brown 
leather Urq seats, though...
