I'm using the MES brand from A1 Electric. They may all be pretty much the same, but I can tell you the actuators on the A1 kits are very strong and easy to install. A1 has lots of options from power door locks only to full-on alarm.

The hardest part would probably be the wiring and finding a place for the relay. I installed power window regulators at the same time and pulled the wires through a loom w/ grommets at the doors. In the first pic you can kind-of see where the actuator is installed at the lower left on the door. They only require drilling two holes & two sheet metal screws to install. The actuator rod is bent per their instructions and attaches to existing lock hardware. The second pic is of the wire loom at the door. I don't have a pic of the relay mounting, but it is behind the guages mounted on the column support.
