You get to like whatever you like!No rain on your parade.Do you have experience shooting the GI style?It works for most folks but I have big hands and the web of my hand rolls over the safety spur.Blood is bad about rusting steel.
I would not necessarily expect all parts to be drop in.There is a sequence of fitting 1911 parts that will go a lot better with some references.I went with Kuhnhausen and a set of Wilson video DVD's.Safeties are unlikely to be a drop in and must be carefully and properly fitted.
I'll second the idea the frame spur where the beavertail fits may have had a .250 or so radius cut performed for a hi-ride grip safety.If so,your plan may have a problem.
