I don't know about power windows, but I added power locks and power mirrors to my 82 (already had power windows).

I got parts from other year F-bodies and it was all fine. Taking OUT power locks and mirrors is easy. Just remove the panels, drilll out the lock motor rivets, remove the mirror, and swap in a non power mirror. You can even pull all the wiring out of the door then too. It all disconnects at a body harness behind the dashboard on the passenger side just in front of the driver door.

Sorry I'm no help on the windows, which is the main part!

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
The regulators should swap right over; the difference was in the design of the guide tracks for the glass itself.
