Adding power windows

The camaro I'm thinking of buying does not have power windows (or mirrors for that matter). I was wondering how hard would it be to put power windows into it. I was thinking find doors from a junkyard with the same color as the car, then get a console piece that has the buttons. How hard would the wiring be? Is this just a stupid idea? Should I deal with the windows as they are.

If you do add power windows you might as well add the power locks too..

So the wiring wouldn't be that hard? Would I just have to run wire(s) from the motors in the door to the switches in the console? Do I need a relay of somekind?

Wiring was not that hard. No relay. But you also need a power source. I used the fuse box for power.

I'm also going to be adding power windows/locks to my car. I had to goto GM to get some wiring diagrams though, it was free. I couldn't find anything for wiring on the net.

No relay for the windows, but you need one for the locks.
