It is easy to convert a Powed Window door to Manual windows

Picked up a spare door for my 91 but it has power windows, my 91 has manual, is it pretty easy to swap the guts or should i just look for another door?

You could just connect a 12V power source and add a couple a switches and have power doors instead. I ended up doing that for my firebird.
