Converting a 9415 skimmer to a 9430

If I wanted to upgrade my 9415 skimmer to a 9430 non dc motor is this all I would need?

Thank you

I don't see this working well, the 9415 is shorter and will be way overpowered and near impossible to adjust with a 9430 pump. You can get a very small improvement by a 9410DC pump running full power but I don't see it being worth the investment.

I was planning to use my existing skimmer cup and purchasing a new 9430 body, a new riser tube and a new 9430 pump.
