Then you might like visswap.vim.

You can get visswap from:

http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#VISSWAP

Quick overview: swapping text using visual mode

Use visual mode (any of the three) to select some text; press ctrl-y .
Use visual mode (any of the three) to select some other text; press
ctrl-x .

I think of ctrl-y as my "yank" step and ctrl-x as my "exchange" step.

To install if you're using vim7.1 or later:

Install a new version of visswap:
vim visswap.vba.gz
:so %
:q
