Question on old Briggs 5 HP with auxillary drive shaft

[creia]

I am considering purchasing an old 1974 Briggs 5 HP horizontal-shaft that has an extra auxillary drive (reversing?) shaft protruding through the sidecover. I like the engine as it is the era/style I want, however, I do not need or want the reversing shaft feature. I know that I could just cut off the protruding extra shaft, however, I want it to LOOK nice as well. It it just as simple as removing the internal (extra) drive shaft/gears and installing a single shaft sidecover off of a Model 130202 or 130232? Or is this engine not (so easily) convertible?
Thanks for the help,
Michael
Edit: here are the engine numbers: 130292 0141-02 74112107

you'd need a new cam and side cover - aux. shaft is part of the camshaft and turns at 1/2 speed of the crank

Thank you Brian.
Will a "standard" cam (Briggs part # 211117) from a 5 HP Model 130202 be a direct swap?

Should be - only difference between the aux shaft cam an the standard cam (given identical model and build style) would be that long bit of cam that sticks out through the cover.

OK- understood and appreciated!
