Process to obtain Ammonium Chloride & sodium sulfate from Ammonium Sulfate & NaCl - possible?

If ammonium chloride and sodium sulfate are needed for some applications & ammonium sulfate & NaCl are available, is it possible to preform a reaction to get the desired product?

Heating an intimately ground or perhaps dampened paste mixture of the two with appropriate stoichiometry to above 338C should result in NH4Cl subliming. That being said, both ammonium chloride and sodium sulfate are so astoundingly cheap that you'd be making a lot of messy/hot work for yourself.
