I think you have it backwards.  the OP wants to put a 2364 into a 2764 
socket, so the 2364 could be much slower than the original socket expects.

_CE does not turn on output buffers.  _CE is chip select.  _OE turns on 
output buffers

You can do so, but that costs an OR gate, and most times, 2764 sockets 
just tied CE to ground all the time, as the power savings with CE =1 
would not matter.

In any case, the PCB in my store attaches _OE of the 2764 socket to _CS 
of the 2364.  If your 2764 does the same, you're done.  If it uses _CE 
to trigger (which I have not seen), cut the trace and jumper.  If it 
uses both (which I have seen, though rarely), It's OR gate time.  If you 
deadbug the IC, you can stash it in the interior of the 24 pin socket, 
as you only need 5 connections (A,B,Y,PWR,GND)
