non-quick release hub to quick release

I have a stock non-quick release rear Suzue hub that I want to upgrade on my Raleigh Olympian. Both wheels are 1983 27" 36sp aluminum ARAYAs. I am probably going to upgrade to a pair of 1988 700c 36sp aluminum ARAYAs with front and back Joytech quick releases that I have lying around.

Can I somehow convert the Suzue hub to a quick release one, without taking apart the spokes, or is this impossible/hard?

In general should I bother saving the Suzue and Suntour hubs from my 27" wheels before I donate them to the local co-op?
