Yep.  That is the way to do it.  Once I got the radio out it was pretty simple.  Just a lot of screws.

Now would all of you experts give me your opinion as to which hands I should use?  I'm attaching a screenshot of the hands that are available from the place I plan on getting the movement from.  The minute hand that was in my clock was 3" but when I look at the face, I could probably go up to 3 3/8". 

So which hands (there is a number above them) do you think I should use?  Would like it to be somewhat like the original hands but I know they are not an option so maybe something else from that time period.
