Possible to swap entire screen with MBP 2.0 Core Duo?

I have been blessed by the hand me down gods with both a core duo 2.0 and a core 2 duo 2.33. The 2.0 has issues, however, and is destined foe eBay. It does have an excellent screen, though, and the only issue with the 2.33 is noticible dimness in the center of the screen on startup or wake from sleep (weak backlight, I surmise). The most appealing and easiest of repairs would be a complete screen swap, housing and all. Anyone know if this is possible? I'm concerned with the wireless antenna, does that need to be swapped, too? Thanks in advance.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
