I have a 81 and the drivers seat motors have died .
Is it POSSIBLE to just swap the seats and put the manual seat in the drivers side and the electric seat in the passenger side .
Just doing this as a Temporary fix because the daughter wants to drive the car.
Thanks in advance for any help.....

No. It won't work because the floor pan on the driver's side is much lower to allow for the power seat mechanisms.

Unless your daughter is over 6'4", it'd be too low for her to drive.
