The only other thing I bought was 3/4" screws and nylon locknuts to use instead of the supplied hardware. Probably not necessary, that's just how I do things.

Are you talking about replacing the motors or you have manual windows now and you want to replace them with power windows?

The latter is probably much more difficult.

Yeah, putting power windows into a car that came with manuals is a big job because the wiring is not in place.

I plan on doing this same thing. To the best of my knowledge you will need the new power window mechanisms, wiring harness, and stock power window buttons.

You can click here and here for the window kit and wiring harness.

The power window buttons can be found on ebay for pretty cheap.
Hope this helps.
