Thinking about doing it so I don't have to use the key anymore. Any kits out there that are good and easy to install?

I did it on my 95. I got a remote start kit and it had the hook up. All I had to do is run two wires to the switch on the passenger side. Each wire caries 12V to energize the lock or unlock if i remember correctly. Make sure that you run stranded wire, not solid. it will brake from the stress in a few months of opening the door.
 
I have a Pursuit alarm system in my '95 that comes with a remote keyless system. I run around most of the time in the valet mode, though, because when the alarm is on the lock/unlock noise is so f-ing annoying. I know Pursuit systems are still around, and there are plenty of other good ones too. It might not be that much more just to get an alarm that comes with remote.

I will never own a vehicle without keyless remote ever again. I had to replace the remote once and I was using the key for about three weeks. Never again.
 
A friend of mine in the Alarm-Car Stereo Shop business, told me that the only reason people get Alarms these days is to add the KeyLess entry to their car. But because most new cars right now already have it factory installed their alarm business has seen an incredible decrease.

From his shop it was gonna cost me $200 bucks to get an alarm and 2 keyless key chains installed. As easy as it probably is, I'd still let some shop do it for you.

With power locks it shouldn't be a problem.
