While that will allow the OP to give Rex a new brain, The King will never acknowledge the fact due to being stuck at the point where the OP is supposed to hire Orris and find out why he's so successful at his bodyguard job.
The problem is that killing Pacer during the firefight with the NCR at the end of GI Blues terminates the quest regardless of the circumstances thereof, so when Pacer died during King's Gambit it completed GI Blues as well. Since the OP was apparently still at the point in GI Blues where he is supposed to be investigating Orris he never had the subsequent dialogue with The King, which prevented The King's dialogue options from updating to reflect that.
As I always make sure to complete GI Blues before starting King's Gambit I have never run into this issue myself, but to my knowledge there is no way to alter the condition checks for Pacer dying such that this conflict would be avoided if both are running when Pacer dies during the latter. Then again I am not an expert dialogue modder, so there might be something I am missing. The only fix I know of that will work for sure is to reload a save prior to getting Pacer killed and finishing GI Blues by convincing the NCR troops that The King didn't know what Pacer was pulling; that will keep Pacer alive so that the OP can subsequently sell him out if he still wants to.
