Replacing Manual Door Locks
My son has a Saturn that has manual everything. I was thinking about installing a keyless entry, which I'm assuming has to work with automatic locks that I would need to install too??? Anyone tried this endeavor and can offer me some advise besides not to do it?

That's a mighty great lot of work. You didn't mention what model or year you're working with, but for any of them you're looking at replacing the entire door lock assembly, mounting the solenoids, wiring the switches, and that's just for power locks. To add RKE on top of it you also need to add the receiver and wire that up as well.
The good news is that there are aftermarket systems available to do all of this. Even still, if you do decide to go ahead with this I'd set aside at least a weekend. Personally, I wouldn't think it'd be worth the bother, but I guess that's your lookout.
