I've even stuffed a CD drive from a trayloading iMac into a clamshell, after modifying the bare faceplate to fit in the opening. It's a bit of a stretch to find the eject button, but it works just fine. So the biggest problems you are going to have are a) getting the old drive out and b) swapping faceplates. The latter is the most critical because of the need to use the manual eject button. Good luck!
