It can be done. Just did it today with an SC3. Somewhat involved but easier than building another wheel. The SC3 and TCWIII are quite similar.
What needs to be done is to 'degut' both hubs, drive the left hand ratchet ring from the TCW shell. Then drive the left hand ball cup from the AW shell and drive it into the TCW shell where the ratchet ring was. Reassemble. Done.
This is assuming that both hubs are post 1963. Earlier AW hub lh ball cups are threaded. With the exception of the 1957-58 SW, SA hub shells are pretty much the same.
