I'd do it, and if the lightning don't strike, then I'd
say you is ok...

Looking at my 91 and my mom's 92 sable... I'd think it
would be possible. The latch and the knoby on the
frame look about in the same spot...I'd think the
handle would just have a different linkage...but it
should work the same.
