Question power window conversion

Right now I have the good old manual crank window and I really want to install a set of power window. The kit that I found is just a generic kit that will fit just about any car. I was wondering if anyone has done a conversion like this and how hard it is. I helped a friend do his on a '86 TA when I was about 16 and it wasn't too terribly difficult. Would this be any differant?

All input is welcome.

Thanks,
Jason

Man, I wish I had crank windows. Seriously, the electric camaro windows are no fun. I just replaced the motors and it still takes 7 seconds to go up. If there were an easy conversion, I'd be ALL over it. You could try a search real quick and see if someone else has done it, I know you can...but just don't know the cost.

I found a kit that JCWhitney sales for about $170. Comes with the wiring and all. I think that its just about the same one that my friend used in his car. But that was 9 years ago. His seemed to work great once he got them in. I just don't know of anyone else that has done the same thing. I just want the change because its too hot to drive around here with out the AC on and only one window down. So, I'm stuck using the AC and wasting a couple of ponies. Besides, I like the wind at about 120

Does anyone know if the mechanisms at this web site are the stock parts that come with power windows?

Is the changover from power to manual strait forward?
My car is power and I would be interested in swapping components (with some cash in my favor).
