My New Car!! 200

I just obtained an '84 245 DL for a price I dare not disclose. 136k miles! After driving it home, I realized it drives much better than my 244 turbo. Of course, the turbo has lots of goodies that the DL doesn't. The Virgos will go on the wagon as will a few other trim pieces (grill, headlight surround, turn signal assy. are broken on the DL).
My questions are whether or not I can put the power windows in the DL. I'd rather exchange guts rather than doors, as I don't want to have to paint anything. Will the electrical system handle the load?
AC compressor on the DL is frozen and the same unit on the turbo is fine and has been converted to 134a. Other than some skinned knuckles from labor and maybe a receiver-dryer, I should be okay there.
I don't want to strip the turbo completely as I'd like to sell it as a drivable vehicle. Any sway bars or other handling goodies are not in question. The DL handles as well as my wife will need.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
