I want to swap in the 180's display, display bezel, motherboard, hard drive, modem into the 165's case.
From what I'm thinking, you also need to swap in the inverter board if you want to use the PowerBook 180's display as active-matrix screens are not compatible with passive-matrix inverters (maybe in the case of other PowerBook series, but not the PowerBook 1xx series)

and I'd recommend inserting the PowerBook 180's parts in the PowerBook 160 as it's just a little easier.
