Taking on Keyless Entry 200

After finding two spare lock acuators, and previously reading about a keyless entry method that requires one, I have a few questions to get things straight.

Driver's door has NO acuator and is strictly mechanical with a switch to activate the other doors' acuator?

The spare acautor MUST be used to act as the mechanical motion that your hand and key creates to connect the switch?

Wiring a remote keyless system TO the spare acuator can take car of the motion?

I kept reading that there is NO power in the door to operate the Keyless system, this correct? ( I was kinda thinking of just keeping the entire unit IN the door)

ANother possiblity came to mind when reading about the el Cheapo Keyless systems is a possible Trunk release system... Would I be compelled to use the OTHER spare acuator to benefit from this feature? I have a spare glove box that has the factory Trunk Release Button with in, I was thinking of incorporating that into a parallel circuit.

Maybe just a pipe dream, but i'm a little bored after the tranny conversion
