Question about un-brazing

For some time now I'm reading about brazing. I got myself a proper torch (just need oxygen and fuel). As I live in Ireland no chance for proper course... have to do it on my own.

I have an ladies high nelly in bad condition and idea to redo this bike into something different (something like velocino). I figured out that if I just move head tube down towards bottom bracket job will be done. easy first project.
Question is. Is it possible to "unbraze" head-down tube connection? I was thinking to cut frame in proper distance from bottom bracket and then try to remove leftovers from head tube by heating it up to brazing temperature and twist tubes to remove them from head lugs when old brazing is soft enough. Then braze it back on where I want it to be.
Will that make sens?
