So i bought them But after reading up on them think that is not going to make all the power locks, mirrors and windows work. Any help or Advice??
What was to begin with power or manual?

You will need bcm flashed to power windows.You will need factory wiring harness and regulators. You will need interior fuse box drivers side, you will need to run a power wire to fuse box, you will need the correct door switches left and right side GM calls them ddm and pdm driver door module, passenger door module. I am yet to complete my factory swap and still use aftermarket switches.
I can not understand why people talk about the V8 engine harness it has no effect on the power windows.

yesterday i tool it to the dealership to have it flashed. tech said it was not connecting to the doors that I need the DDM and PDM. So i went to junkyard got the use block on the driver side and and passenger side. The doors i got are complete. pretty much hung the doors on and plugged the harness to the side fuse blocks before i even took it up there. It had the door switches plugged in and all. Don's know why they asked for the DDM & PDM if from what i understand the door switches are it. Running the power wire from the fuse box under the hood then where does the other end go? I was hoping this would not be so damn complicated. I wonder if what other mean by the V8 harness maybe having the power wire you speak of?

The power wire will connect to the battery or the positive post in the under hood fuse box.

I want the production date on the door or the part number on the switch. I need to determine what you are working with to begin with.
