Removing 1/4 windows
I am thinking or removing the 1/4 windows on my 59 and running a full size door glass, is it easy to do? (Both my sets of 1/4 windows are too rusty to
use)
Does the glass and upper door trim/felts/wipers/regulators from a super beetle fit into a early door without too many mods?
I might want to go back to 1/4s in the future?

NO not easy to do job at all

No, my car/s are all apart. (3 parts cars going into 1) Only just getting my final parts ready to go together
Is there a kit you can buy for one piece windows in old doors?

I don't see why you would want to do it, quarter vent windows are awesome! And unless you fit a decent fan-powered demister, you need them to defog
the front windscreen.

You can get kits but make sure the glass is stamped as safety glass and it comes with twin lift regulators.
Also try to get clip in scrapers as the glue in ones are crap.
