Power window/lock conversion

I came across a pair of power doors on Craigslist and was wondering how much work it is as far as electrical to change it over. My father in law does auto body so changing the doors isn't a huge deal as far as mounting goes but I don't want to get myself in to too much trouble with the wiring

The wires and connector to get power to the locks and windows on the driver's side is already there, you just need to add the breakers in the fuse box. What is not there is the harness that goes from the driver's side over to the passenger side to send power to that side. That harness runs just underneath the windsheild and you must pull the dash back away from the firewall to install it.

how hard is the harness to run across to the passenger side to find? would it be easier to just make a harness or try to hardwire everything?

I got mine out of the same truck I got the doors from.
