I'd like to transform my acoustic guitar into an acoustic electric without using those acoustic pick-ups. If I payed the money to have holes cut into it for a pre-amp and the input, is there some guitar shop out there that could do it for me? Is it even possible to have this done?


Answer
"Yes" is the simple answer. I'm going to ignore the part about "without using those acoustic pickups" because an acoustic pickup is exactly what you want. In addition, with many acoustic pickups there is no need to cut holes in the body of the guitar.

You have much research to do before you even consider investing in an acoustic pickup. Here is a good place to start:

Go for it!
