Is it possible to just cut the lever off the right side, and file and polish the end?
Or would that make it not retain properly, hence the need for a sear pin?
I’m guessing the sear pin is grooved, with something to retain it from working its way out. I don’t know a 1911 trigger like I know an AR trigger.
I dont think so . the ambi is a part kind of socketed thing if memory serves. I wont be making the swap on mine for another week so if you still haven't messed with it I can give you more info then.

Sounds good
I did do a swap on a single stack RIA, ignored the sear pin at the time, but sold it shortly after. The double stack is clearly a wider frame though.

Coincidence: I bought a Comp-Tac Infidel (IWB) holster yesterday. I didn't need another holster, but it was on sale for a dollar, so how could I not buy it?

It has the "guard" on the side, so at first opportunity, I will saw it off with a Dremel cutoff wheel. (Unless you guys recommend a hacksaw or tin snips or something else.)

WOW, a dollar
I used tin snips- at the corners, I clipped a small triangle off at a 45, and then those two corners became rounded with sandpaper
