1911 Parts Upgrade Question

My PT1911 Taurus is showing signs of negative sear engagement. I suspect it is the hammer and not the sear. Is there a way to determine if it is the hammer hooks or the sear without taking it all apart and looking at the angles? My local gunsmith may be able to stone the hammer hooks or shape up the sear, but I was thinking, instead of doing this, how about I get rid of these crappy soft metal parts anyways.

I'm looking at wilson parts and ed brown. Has anyone replaced parts in the PT1911? It is my understanding that these guns don't take GI spec parts very well - although I have also heard of people having no problem with drop in parts. In anycase, any 1911 needs fitted parts...

If I change the hammer and sear, is it recommended that the disconnector be replaced as well? Is the PT1911 disconnector the same size as a GI spec? I am also looking to replace the stupid ambi-safety with a standard right-handed safety.

Might as well fit a trigger too. Any suggestions?
