On the doors, there is a clip that holds the cylinder in place. Number 2 in picture B.
To gain access to this clip you should remove the door latch which is number 5 in picture C. Not a fun job.
For the cylinder replacement.. I could walk you through this step by step... But Jim Shea's papers on this are a excellent source. http://jimshea.corvettefaq.com/?p=1004

All General Motors steering columns had a screw retained ignition lock cylinder by 1981.
So make sure you are purchasing a lock cylinder for a GM tilt (or T&T) steering column with the special cross-notch as shown.
Here is the direct link to the Tilt & Telescoping Disassembly & Repair Paper #1. It covers the removal and installation of the lock cylinder.
