Strat Pickup Set

Would CS '69 pups work in a Fender Lite Ash Strat?

I'm new to the world of upgrading guitar pickups. I'm thinking about putting some Fender Custom Shop '69s in my Fender Lite Ash Strat. Currently my strat has Seymour-Duncan stock APS-1 pickups. I'm assuming that any single coil can be put into any strat, but like I said I'm a newbie to these things. I'll be having the pickups professionally put in by my local guitar tech. Does anyone suspect there will be any difficulties replacing these pickups?

Thanks in advance!

They should be an easy direct replacement, you could do it yourself with some light soldering.

Also:
Welcome to the world of modding guitars, it is addictive.

Example:
The purple strat in my pic is now completely stripped, has a dark stain a black pickguard
a hot rails and a vintage staggered and a bunch of other mods.
