Don't be spring loaded to changing the halyard sheaves. I changed out the old wire-to-rope to all rope on my '84 29-2 and the sheaves were just fine. You ought to take a hard look at the angle the new lines will exit the mast in relation to the headstay though as the clearance might be very tight. I had to add on 2 halyard restrainers to the mast to ensure good exit angles for both jib halyards.
