Can I change the VR from a 4pin AD244 to a 2 pin one?

Basically I ended up with both a 4 pin Ad244 alt and 2 pin (I believe its an AD230?) alt. The latter came from an 05 Tahoe the first from an 02 Avalanche. The 4 pin on is one my car right now since it works there and the 2 pin doesnt. The 4 pin one is on its last leg i believe since its getting noisy at low RPMs. Im just curious if I can switch the Voltage Regulator and what not from the 4 pin on to the 2 pin one.

No big deal if it doesnt. Ill just rebuild the 4 pin.

Thanks guys.

Edit:

I found a video that explains how to do the reverse of what I want.

You can go backwards compatible with AD244 (DR44G) regulators, but you cant go forwards with the old OEM regulators, they wont fit the newer style recitifiers. If you need a 4 pin regulator for a new style AD244 that has a 2 pin regulator we usually have a few hundred of the 4 pin regs in stock and they are new OEM, not chinese aftermarket. Drop me or kyle a PM if you need one and we'll get you taken care of. Rob
