Good day folks! I’m just wondering if it’s easy to swap a newer gen dashboard to an early model?

I did it solo, would definitely have been easier with a competent assistant. There is so many screws. label or take pictures where every single one came from. Follow the FSM and it's not too bad, maybe two banana.I have to imagine that would be way more work than it's worth. A lot of changes from one dash to the other.
However, since we're sorta on the topic, anyone who has pulled their 95+ dash and put it back, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how many it was to take that mess apart and get it back together with all the switches, airbags and vents still working
Can't speak to the later dash but I did pull my 93 dash to replace the hacked-up wiring harness and I did not enjoy it. Not because it was technically challenging but more so that it was tedious and frustrating. I'd agree with @Njck22 that it's about a job. Its as simple as following the FSM, taking your time, and exercising patience, it can easily become frustrating so knowing when to take a break and walk away is key.I have to imagine that would be way more work than it's worth. A lot of changes from one dash to the other.
