probably not. the board is likely made for the extra space. not to mention its all calibrated for the bigger sized console. You would need to get a small console and transfer your stuff to it.

Nintendo doesn't let you use System Transfer to move from a New 3DS to an "old" model 3DS, if that's what you're asking. It's sort of possible to use unofficial tools to do a System Transfer, but it's not a simple process and I don't think it works very well.

In such a case it would probably be easier to call Nintendo and ask them to transfer the NNID (I think they'll do that), re-download all your purchases from the eShop, and then transfer the save data using Checkpoint or JKSM.
