If my memory serves me correctly, there are no additional modifications necessary. As opposed to the original hole and pin arrangement, the replacement uses a slot instead of an eye or closed hole. Most aftermarket mags just cam in, the way an AK mag does, by locking in the front and rocking in the rear.

If your SKS currently uses the "duck bill" sks mag the rifles mag well would have to be modified (AK 47 mag is wider at the mag well than an SKS mag is) to accecpt the ak47 mag. It can be done but cannot be undone.
If you have the "duck bill" 20 or 30 round mag made by Pro mag good luck feeding it with stripper clips. Mine would not line up properly and the rounds would jam up and not feed into the mag. Put the factory 10 round mag back in and the problem went away.
Some SKS's were modified in China to take the AK mag then some were factory made to use the AK mag. I can't seem to get a link to copy and paste but if you google "AK mag in an SKS" you will find what you need

How to accept AK mags
This post is for educational purposes only, I accept no responsibility for the finality of results. In addition, I would suggest obtaining a letter from the ATF asserting explicit permission to do this. Supposedly, at the Federal level, it's legal to do this simply because any SKS that currently receives a "tanged" magazine is in fact- a detachable magazine.
