I want to upgrade to a removable print surface

Hi all,

I have a Mk2s I picked up from a local public school. It does not have a removable bed and that can be a real pain sometimes. I was thinking of purchasing this kit on ebay...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/266233635146?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bbPPJTUKRYe&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=gWVPH2QuRlS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

My question is do I need a different PINDA than what is already on the printer for this upgrade? If so, do I also need new firmware? If so, what specifically do I need? Any help answering those questions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
