Default Maybe a silly question on window regulators

Howdy, Im looking at swapping my auto window regulators for manual ones. Has anyone done that? Is it even possible? What are the differences between the 2?
Basically Im doing this to get the wiring system as simple as possible

It's pretty much a bolt in swap.

You'll need the manual regulators, the handle extensions, and the window crank handles. The door glass, window track, rollers, etc.; are all the same, for both power and manual windows.
