Has anyone tried to add power windows and locks to a fox body that had manual ones? I'm especially wondering if the wiring harness is already there, just needing to be pugged in to use. Thanks.

its not at the door panel, but at the dash harness. just get everything from a salvage yard, switches, armrest, etc. never done, but should be to hard.
If you have any mechanical inclination, it's extremely easy. The hardest part is getting the door harness through the hinge and into the car- tip- go in from the door not out from the kick panel. It will take a few hours, but not because it's difficult, there's just a lot to change. Make sure you have all the tools you need first, like a big rivet gun for the window glass. An extra set of hands is nice too.
+1 for getting everything from a donor, but make sure it all works first. There's nothing more frustrating than installing a power window motor and finding out it's on it's last leg (or dead) when you're done. This is also as good a time as there will ever be to replace the window parts that wear out, like the square slide bushing. The stuff to freshen them up is pretty cheap from LRS, just get it out of the way now so they work nice and smooth. Good luck
