Default Power to MANUAL Window conversion ?'s

I have a 99 Civic Si and have the oppurtunity to obtain door panels from a CTR. There are both power and manual sets available to purchase. I want ot convert to manual windows.
Has anyone done this, or have any idea, how hard it is and what parts are necessary to convert to manual windows??
Thanks

I've never seen it done, but a day at the junkyard and you can pilliage everything you need out of a base model Civic. Just out of curiosity, why are you converting? Leaning over to roll the passenger window down sucks it.

why not leave the power windows in and put the switches somwhere in the console or something?i manage a stereo shop and we install aftermarket windows that have a plastic cover over the hole.it would look stock and you would not have to crank that thing.

Well I guess that I could just move the switches to the center console, but the less power operated features I have is less to worry about. For me anyway. I know about leaning over to crank the pass. side up and down, my first car was like that.
I just want to make my car as simplistic and worry free as possible when it comes to convenience features. I probably won't do it, I was just curious as to how much work was involved.
