No problem replacing the handlebars and getting an upright position on a Schwinn Varsity.. I just did it last week on a Schwinn Varsity that I picked up for $5 at a garage sale. I had some spare upright handlebars laying around and took the handbrake levers and cables off another $5 bike that I got for my wife to decorate the garden with flower baskets and vines. If you don't have the handlebars and brake levers on hand a garage sale oldie should provide them cheaply. The labor took me all of 15 minutes.
