Will a Kirst converter work in a 70's Uberti?

Kirst says yes, right at the top of the Remington page:  "The Kirst “Equalizer” conversion cylinder will work in all Uberti or Pietta percussion revolvers, regardless of when they were manufactured."

Yeah.  Universal fit across different generations of Ubertis, plus and the new cylinder will work with an older conversion ring as well.  It is a 5-shot (for .45 anyway, not sure about .38) with notches between cylinders for the firing pin.

 

Are you planning on lining the barrel?  I have a Kirst in a '61 Navy with an unlined barrel, and at least at CAS distances I haven't missed any in the 5 or 6 matches I shot it.

No, I got a Rapine 358-148 and Rapine 358-158 mold which are both hollow base molds. Plan to cast with a low BHN and help maximize the skirt sealing. That is my plan anyways...
