I think that a swinger can use the aiming point concept to affect the club release point (release of PA#2).
That is the whole idea behind the straight-line Endless Belt Effect (2-K #6). Hands at Top (Right Shoulder High and On Plane) and at Release (variable) are the two pulleys. [Power Point graphics for my presentation at the PGA of Sweden's Coaching and Teaching Summit are available on this site.]
The Swinger, via the Pivot, pulls the butt end of the Club with the #2 Pressure Point (last three fingers of the left hand) directly toward the Plane Line. The exact point at which the left hand pulls changes every split second due to the circular nature of the Hands' true Delivery Path. This as opposed to the Straight Line Delivery Path of the Thrust (as defined by the #3 Pressure Point - Ball relationship).
The Hitter's Active Pressure Point #3drives the Left Wrist Uncock at the Pulley Wheel Encounter.
The Swinger's Passive Pressure Point #2allows Centrifugal Force to do the same thing.

When does the change from monitoring pp2 to pp3 occur?

From the Top . . .
Just Pull.
That was Homer Kelley's advice to me in January 1982, and it is my advice to you now.
Remember, at the Backstroke's End (10-21-C) and with Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A), the Clubhead Lag Pressure Point has now Loaded onto the Top of the Shaft (10-11-0-3 / 10-2-A). It will not revert onto the Back of the Shaft -- if then ( 10-2-B) -- until the last split second of Impact. And by the time you Feel this, the Ball will be many yards down the Fairway.
Let Centrifugal Reaction (6-N-0) take care of the rest. Centrifugal Force wants the correct orbiting of the Sweetspot to take place. It wants to align the Club Face, Head and Shaft for Impact. But, we override Nature's Own through our Steering, Quitting, Bobbing and Swaying (the Four Snares 3-F-7-A/D).
Train diligently in the Twelve Sections of the Stroke (Chapter Eight and the Mechancial Checklist of All Strokes / 12-3). Do your best to ingrain the precision alignments that exist only in The Golfing Machine. But somewhere in here, folks . . .
Pull it is - if the left arm is almost useless in the stroke then I assume we must pull with the right side and arm?
'Almost' is the key word in your post. The left arm is a component of PP4, and so aids in transferring power from the pivot to the club. While actual left arm muscle power may not be very helpful in a good swing, the feel of pulling with the left is something different, and very much a viable option.
From Homer's audio tapes:
"The left arm is almost useless except as accumulator #4 in pivot strokes. The release comes as the left arm leaves the chest".
What does Homer mean here? Pivot controlled hands strokes? Or simply swinging? All full power strokes use the pivot which would seem to indicate he ws talking about pivot controlled hands.

Here's a big thing the #4 Accumulator is the MASTER ACCUMULATOR . . . period. Accumulators HAVE TO RELEASE and if #4 doesn't release your hands are going to either go UNDER plane or OVER plane depending on what your shoulders do (roundhouse or bob) . . . the release sequence is 4,1,2,3 regardless of procedure (swinging or hitting) regardless of pivot stroke or non-pivot stroke. So if you don't release #4 . . . . you will have a plane shift.
