Default Power Window on 1984 Needs Replace Which way to go ???

I have both of my power window motors getting really slow and sometimes won't raise the window without a little help. Should I update both to the newer
1986 and above or just replace the motors ?? It is about 100.00 difference per door and what ever it takes to install it labor wise, and would it take that much longer to install ??? Thanks

I have a couple and you just replaced the motors ?? Do you have to pull the whole assembly to replace just the motor ? Thanks and I still have another
in storage, I have this thing for 1984 and also for 1989 but haven't found the right 89 yet.
