Default Doors power vs. manual

OK so i searched around the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for. I have ano early '76 that at some point the doors were changed on. If I go by the door panels they probably came from a '77. I want to go back to the small chrome mirrors and my doors are coming apart. I have found a couple of sets on Craigslist. My car has power windows and these are manual. Other than the regulator is there any difference between power or manual doors?

No you can swap in power windows into a manual crank door or change power to crank if you have all the parts. Have fun aligning the windows....that's not a fun job!

I think that even the holes for the power window conduit, are in the manual window doors. They may just have something on the inside of the door, to block them off.

Make sure that any doors you buy, are either 69's or 70-77 coupe doors, as 68 doors, 70-75 convertible doors and 78-82 doors are different.
