I'm pretty sure you have to replace the upper hinge too, it's welded on, the lower one is bolted if I remember right. To get it off, you have to drill out the welds on the upper hinge. GM sells a kit to replace the hinge and it bolts onto the body, (about 70 bucks) as for windows, motors, power locks, I can't really help you there, but once you get the door panel off it's prety easy to see how things go together. I'd do this after you had the fenders off, it'll be much eaiser if not required.

Both hinges are welded to the door and bolted to the body. Just unbolt the door and swap everything you want.
