    Sure your plan is possible.

    Once the existing fixtures are removed, you may need to have outlet boxes installed at the proposed location of the new fixtures, to contain the wiring and splices, and to support the new fixtures.

    Obviously, the ceiling surface may need to be patched and painted to fill in any holes left over from the fluorescent fixtures.
