On mine I drilled the rivits out on the old manual regulator, and then bolted the power one in its place. I had to also drill the hole for the rivit for the power lock solinoid, and the big one for the wires to pass into the door, but your's may allready have the hole for the wires

Same Q

Glad you asked I need to know that too. Mine 84. My drivers side keeps going in high geer and rolls itself all the way down. It gets stuck. After a while I can get it to go back up. But, I hate it. LOL
