Seems to me you can't take the motor off with the regulator installed. Make sure you get the big kahuna rivets that hold the regulator to the door. Although you need this big kahuna rivet "gun" to install these rivets, which probably will involve a favor from a body shop to get done, so I might suggest replacing the rivits with nuts/bolts/lockwashers.
I would disagree on the 50-50 failure rate of motors to regulators. Usually it the regulator that breaks, where the pivot is that joins the regulator to the window, probably about 75% of the time, this is the failure. The window will stop going all the way to the top first (that's when it first breaks), then it stops all together.
