I own this great old beast and would like to make it function with my D100's metering system. Say I cannibalize a CPU chip from a "for parts" Nikon lens of similar aperture. So long as the contacts match up in the D100 body will I fool the camera into metering aperture priority with a thusly modified 600mm MF lens?

Corresponding question on circuitry: the "for parts" CPU I have, ready to use, has a long tail of printed ciruitry to accomodate switches for zooming, etc. They are now redundant. If I simply snip straight across these lines will I do no harm to the chips' basic functions?
