Re: Fender Modern Player Thinline Tele Routing
The obvious way to answer this question is to remove the pickguard of your own guitar and take a look.
The pickup cavities in the Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom and Custom II were identical - generous enough to accept HB or P90, respectively, with just a change of pickguard. Your guitar could be the same.
Are you changing out the P90s to get hum cancellation or for reasons of tone?
Second part answer. High output pickups in semi-solid Thinline guitars are usually a short cut to howling feedback. I cannot honestly recommend anything hotter than a Brobucker.

Funkfingers - I dont own the guitar yet, thus the reason for the question. Thank you for the response. As to the "why" I need a light weight guitar.

Swapping the P-90's to hummers? Why? Because of hum or tone?
The hum isn't even noticable while you're playing; and the tone in a P-90 is the best! So why plan on switching even before you have the guitar and can play it and see how awesome the P-90 sound is for hard rock?
The other obvious option would be to put in mini hums. They fit right into a P-90 rout.
