control standard heater with deluxe control?

[59chev]

I picked up a deluxe control for my truck but I have the standard heater in it right now. I figure I can make the heat control work with a valve under the hood and hook the defrost control to move the flap in the standard heater that is moved by a lever.

My question is: will the fan switch for the deluxe control work with the standard heater? Is the blower motor the same for the standard and the deluxe heater?

The heater in question is for 55-59.

Thanks
