The Fleet Status site is:
https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/
At the site, you can find information about the interior features, livery, etc., for every plane in United's fleet.
To determine which plane your flight will be on go to https://www.cablepick.net/united#
Just enter your flight number, date, origin and destination. Once you do that look in the details tab under aircraft # and if they have assigned a plane it'll say something like #3506 and the type of plane. Once you know that go to the United Fleet website listed above and cross-reference the four digit number against the "aircraft" column under the appropriate aircraft type.
Keep in mind that things change as they get closer and sometimes either they won't have assigned an aircraft yet or it'll be assigned #0 if it's a few days away and they are anticipating aircraft movement.
You may also check the specific fleet variant of each flight at the United Cargo site under "Schedules & tracking". This data tends to be reliable starting 7 days in advance, but is always subject to change.

If the 744 seats fit into the 772 and UA pulled them from the 2 ITPE aircraft that are in VCV and GYR, UA would have 104 available for use and with 26 of the 28 BF seats on each 772 ITPE when they come into mod there could be only a need for 2 on each mod.

With the current 3-class 772s that are being reconfigured going from 40BF seats down to 28 there's a net surplus of 12 seats coming out each plane for use on the current Hawaii birds. On top of that, there's all of the BF seats coming out of the 3-class 763s (26 per plane). If they wanted to just pull the BF seats out of the 744s for use in the project, it's probably more cost effective to pull them out here in the US and then ship them over on a container ship instead of ferrying a 744 to XMN to pull them.
My bet is that UA decided to extend N179UA a little bit further into this year in order to keep capacity up until the 773s start arriving resulting in this maintenance visit.
