The download won't work. It will not put the x86_64 bits on the card if you're on a 960.
If you're just swapping heads, then if you match the OS on the 960 to the OS on the 3070 before the swap, then edit /etc/rc right before you swap heads, take down the 960, swap heads then boot up the 3070, it should work.

All,
We'll be replacing a 960 with a new 3070 soon and am wondering if anyone's gone through this upgrade path yet.
Our current plan is to install 7.2.2 for the 3070 (which is an x86_64 based OS) with the 960 still up, run "download" to put the boot stuff on the disks, then edit the /etc/rc file to change the device names for the network interface, then shutdown and swap the heads. Hopefully the 3070 will just come up and hum right along.
Any gotchyas?
