Looks like you have a 4-door ...
I added Power Locks to my Half Doors. they use Reverse Polarity to unlock/lock.
So to control each door lock you need two relays. Total 8 relays for the locks. and 4 switches.
I assume the Windows work the same way so that's another 8 relays and 4 switches.
Finding a place to mount the switches ... you can't use the factory CANBUS switches - and a place to hide 16 relays and all the wiring is gonna suck.
I would hold off for manual doors - they will slide right in, connect to the factory harness and your done ....

I also forgot ... your probably gonna want RKE if you go with the power locks .. more $$$ and wiring.
If you are determined to go with the power ... I would also swap out the tailgate. I added power to my tailgate and wired to my passenger door ( I have a 2-door) so when the Passenger door locks/unlocks the tailgate locks/unlocks as well.

It looks to be no problem in the wiring here is a great write up on it. Your kit will not even cost much since the doors them selves are already power.

I'm probably going to get my @ss flamed for even suggesting this but.....here goes........why don't you ask the dealer? They might have an idea of what's involved.
...hey, it was just a thought.

I asked the dealer, lol. They said since the doors I am getting are already power and pre-wired all I need is the correct body wire harness and new dash panal for window up/down switches. Talked to Camp Crocker and he did this change as well. Little time consuming, but not that bad. Dealer said harness is $240.00. This works for me 
Thanks all

Another guy on here had the dealer tell him they could convert his JK to the Infinity SOund system ... turned out they would have had to replace every harness including the DASH and BODY harness to be able to do it ... and keep in would have to tear down you entire dash and remove all components .. and then put it back together with the power DASH harness ..
You WILL need the DASH Harness also ... not just the body harness.
Have your dealer check the cost of the DASH and BODY HARNESS for JKs with PW/PDL ... you are talking almost $1,000 just for the harnesses .....
