It should be possible but I'd consult a pro -- getting it to work
and balance might be tricky.
My other piece of advice is, try living with the radiators for at least
one winter before you go ripping them out -- you might come to like
them. You put your cold wet boots and gloves and such on them, and
next time you put them on they are all dry and toasty.
