I have an Oly 9mm with an a2 upper and want to swap upper receiver into a flat top.  How hard is it to remove the ejector spring, drill flat top receiver, and reinstall spring in new flat top?  or should i just call oly arms and order a complete  flat top receiver?

Not hard IF you have a milling machine and are capable of locating the datum where they are located from and then drilling them to within .001 inch.
I have seen significant malfunctions induced by having one of the holes slightly mislocated.

I sent my upper to Oly and they swapped it for me. For the record, my upper was a very early flattop that
Had a non picatinny rail style rail. I think it was weaver-ish sized. Oly swapped it for a regular upper, no charge.

You had a piece of AR history.
Olympic Arms made the first flat top uppers by cutting off the handle and bolting on a Weaver rail.
