1330's for the half shafts, 1310's for the drive shaft on auto transmission 80 and 81 Corvettes.

The above is what they should be unless somebody has been in there changing things. The 1/2 shafts could have 1350 u-joints. A quick way to tell is to look at a the bolts that hold the straps on the u-joints. If they are still the 1310's they will be 1/4" bolts, if 1350 they will be 5/16".
