I may have an opportunity to acquire a Hoyt Carbon Element G3 really cheap. The only catch is the owner was 5'4" tall and I'm 6' 1". I'm assuming his draw length is really short and mine is 29". How easy is it to change out the cams and string to a cam that allows a longer draw length?

I believe if you swap from a 2 to 3 the weight is gonna jump too.

The previous owner was most likely a #2 cam, you will need a #3 cam and new strings and cables...as for the limb deflection and poundage, I'm almost positive that the draw weight will go down when you switch to the #3 cam from the #2 cam.

If you have a bow press, its shouldn't be too bad but I would probably take it to an archery shop and they can replace and tune everything for a reasonable price.
