powerlocks on manual lock car

is it possible to install power locks on my car? Its an 88 camaro with manual windows and locks and i was thinking about converting the doors to power locks. Is there a kit that does this? A kit for power windows would be nice, but for right now all i need is the power locks.

This is a very easy too do. All you need is the power lock solinoids wiring harness and switches. I did this to my 82 firebird. I got the soliniods and switches off of EBAY, and made my own wiring harness.

As for power windows that will be more differcult. I have replaced one of my power window motors and it was not easy. To convert from manual windows to power windows you will have too completely remove everything from within the door. If you want power windows, it might be easier to buy another car.
