switching bars and shifters in a mtb help?

I am finally getting around to working on a bike I have, that I ride pretty often, but want to fool around with the setup. 88ish Schwinn Impact. I want to switch from Riser bars with thumbshifters to moustache bars with bar end shifters. I've gotten some info from the good folks in C&V that any decent barcons will work, but will any moustache bars work? I'm looking at the nashbar bars, as they come in both road and MTB sizes, and I like the shape. My question is will any bar end shifters fit in any bar end? or will I need to change out the stem, too (to fit road diameter bars). I'm hoping to not change the brake levers either, because I don't want to open a different can of worms. any guidance is appreciated. I don't own any of the parts yet.
