Arrow help with power/manual window problem!

i just bought a 94 Z-28 and it came with manual windows from the factory but the guy had power windows put in it, (he said the dealership did it but i'm not sure), i want to go back to manual windows so what do i need to change to do that? it still has the window cranks on the door panel by the way. can i just take the window motor off and it would work or do i have to buy regulators and stuff?

the wiring is kinda half-***, i'm not sure what they did, you can roll the windows down but not up, you have to take it apart and touch some wires together to get it to go up. i'd rather get rid off all that and use manual windows.

If you know the wires that have to be touching so the window can move up, then why not just buy a switch and connect the wires to the switch?
