Could that be done to an RS? Or could I get a GSX Shell with all of the AWD components already there... and just put my RS on that?

the parts won't match. non-turbo cars can swap parts with other non-turbo cars and turbo cars can swap parts with other turbo cars. Some parts aren't interchangeable but they usually aren't the major parts.
the only 2g models you can swap parts are
95-99 base, RS & GS(major parts like engine, trans, etc.)
95-96 base, RS & GS(minor parts like headlights, bumpers, etc.)
97-99 base, RS & GS(minor parts)
95-99 GS-T & GSX (major parts like engine and front suspension. not trans)
96-96 GS-T & GSX (minor parts like ECU, bumpers, headlights, etc)
97-99 GS-T & GSX (minor parts)

no. you will spend countless hours to end up with a huge paperweight.
it can be done but plan to spend a minimum of 6 months working 8 hour days on your car only.

Well just wondering but has anyone or does anyone know someone who has done a 1g 2WD to AWD swap I probably won't do it but was just wondering

it's easier to remove the rear body panels from your 420a car and weld them to the gsx then it is to remove all the mechanical stuff, wiring harness and everything else to the 420a car
let's simplify all this swapping stuff:
you have a 420a car 95-99 non turbo.
and you have a GSX 95-99 turbo
you basically have to take EVERYTHING OFF the whole way down to each nut, bolt and plastic clip of the gsx down to nothing but a unibody/frame with body panels on it. Then take EVERYTHING off of your 420a car the whole way to the unibody/frame. Then put ALL the gsx stuff on to the 420a cars frame. This includes wiring, clips, ties, plumbing, bushings, grommets, seals, guages, shifter, cables, bolts, nuts, fuel system, fuel tank, suspension, axles, transmission, engine, transfer case, drive shaft, brakes, spindles, control arms, lateral arms, sway bar, ,,,,,,,,EVERYTHING
simple enough
the difference between these models isn't that they just have extra parts. One model has diamond star (mitsubishi) construction. the other has Mopar (dodge) construction. even though they are made by the same company and are compatible with some things they aren't compatible on many things.
its kinda like taking a wheel barrow and turning it into a go cart. it can be done but it's rediculous when you can just sell the wheel barrow and buy the go cart.

with the GS or RS models it could be done, in theory, but is extremely more impracticle because of the different engines. you would have to strip your GS or RS completely of EVERYTHING including wiring harness. THEN strip everything off the GSX or AWD talon and try to put it all back on the RS or GS frame.
not only would this take forever you would probably lose half the nuts and bolts in the process because the car would eat them along with your 10mm wrench and socket :P

Yeah anything's possible. You can put a 454 in a civic, but is it worth it? It comes down to an economics issue (cost / benefit) You'll have twice the traction at a cost of about 8'000$. You can just buy a decent GSX for 2'000.
