It depends on how "involved " you want to get. I bought a 1979 caddy for $100 to get the 425 out of but found it was bad so I took the power window regulators, switches and wiring out. With a little modifying to the regulators and some to the door it self I got power windows. I also used the power locks also it was easier, just a couple of holes to drill and attach the rod to the lock mechanism and run the wiring. I even used the disc rear end from the caddy but had to make a driveshaft, so after using a 79 disc front end I now have four wheel disc brakes. I well have got my $100 in parts from the car and can still sell the motor and 400 tranny then haul the body to scrap. Some times it may take a little more effort to do something but in the long run it's more fun and saves a little money.
