Default Non-Power (crank) to Power

Hey yall, i got a non-power 97 camaro. Is it possible and/or how hard would it be to make my car into power windows. I dont care much for power locks, just windows.

Honestly I would suggest keeping your non-power windows and locks. It saves you from having to rip your doors apart and it also saves you from having to blow $160 on replacing window motors. ( Which I just did 2 days ago )

Another great reason to keep manual windows is that they won't freeze in the winter like automatic ones. It's so embarrassing to go through drive thru and having to open my door because my window won't open :/

I converted and the parts cost me $80, not a hard job for anybody who has ever worked on alarms or stereos. The power locks cost about $40 because i got the heavy duty actuators. The $10 actuators work just as well.
