Power Window-to-Handcrank Window Convert
Hey I have an 87 z28 with power windows and don't wanna have to buckle down and pay for new window motors, is there any way to remove the motors and put in a hand crank?

yep, there's a manual to power window tech article in the tech section... you do the same thing, but reverse. I just put power windows in mine
Also, I'd recomend you use rivets to put them in, bolts and nuts are really difficult to use.

I have done the conversion on my Formula, it really wasn't that bad, I removed the power window regulators, and replaced them with manual regulators. I believe it only took 15-20 minutes per door.

not quite... look at that tech article.. it's the whole window lowering assembly (well, the majority of it). If you see the picture, it'll make sense
