Early 944's just need the old strut to be unscrewed.
So you unscrew the top of the strut, and slip in a new cartridge.
It's the newer 944's that require extensive refit for a cartridge
replacement.

I've done the Koni shock conversion. It wasn't difficult. You need to be
careful how much of the strut you cut off. Here is a link to the process.

I need to replace my front struts. As an alternative to just replacing
the front units, I've come across the idea of cutting off the shock
absorber part of the strut and replacing it with a Koni insert. This
sides a bit strange to me, but Koni is a reputable brand and the
conversion is considerably cheaper than just replacing the struts. Does
anyone have any experience with this conversion? How reliable is it?
