Default power windows

My front doors are bad and I getting parts off another van that are in great shape. My van has manual windows and the part van has power windows. My question is are the wires the same in both vans? Are they already in the van so I can plug in if not has anyone hook up power windows? Thanks joey!

Certainly doable with OE parts, but the wiring would not be the same and would need some upgrades. The door harness's run through the jamb and plug into the main harness in the kick panel areas. Would have to look at circuits and changes needed there.

The conversions I did we used 'Spal Automotive' components usually because of cost difference over OE pieces, and didn't require stock/standard window regulators to be changed out. Power locks were the same, solenoid/actuator added in to lock linkage.
And the kits had all the switches, cross over wiring for the windows (Master-Front passenger) and system power distribution wiring included in the kit harness.
