My P151HM1 has the Intel Ultimate-N 6300 card in it. If I wanted to add internal Bluetooth to this laptop could I order this...
Amazon.com: 6230 IEEE 802.11n (draft) Bluetooth 3.0 - Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Adapter (Bulk): MP3 Players & Accessories
to replace my current card? Would just swapping the cards to the trick, or would I need to swap/add an antenna or something inside?

You should have 3 antenna the card with BT needs only 2
You could also consider 1 usb BT adapter -

That card will work perfectly in there you'll just have to install the new drivers for it.
Like 135 mentioned you will only be able to use 2 antenna so your range might drop a bit, probably nothing you'll notice unless you're often far away from the access point. -

OP - Here's a link to the service manual for the laptop if you needed more detailed instructions on the swap: (thanks to Theriko)
