Why go backwards? Power windows were standard on the 80 models.

If you intend to begin doing your own work, my advice would be to purchase the assembly instruction manual (AIM) and the GM chassis service manual before you do anything further. Read through each after they arrive and you will have valuable background information for what you might want to do.

Great Advise from Easy Mike, Also most Vendors sell a large Readable, 1980 Corvette Chassis Wiring diagram, By Lectric Limited. Be sure to learn how to properly do wire connections, & test all. Have a Great & Safe, Memorial Day. Gene
