Those "switches" are actually ground output signals from the alarm. If you don't have an alarm, or want to control the locks manually, you will need to install two switches, one for lock, one for unlock, with one side of the switch going to ground as shown in the diagram, and the other side going to terminal 86 of the appropriate relay(lock or unlock). This will operate BOTH doors at once. If you want individual control, then you will have to have a set of switches and relays for each door, for a total of 4 switches and 4 relays.
Electrically speaking, here is how it works: if you look at the diagram, you will see that in it's current state, both coils are open (have no ground input) and both sides of the actuators are grounded. The actuators move in one direction when + and - 12v are applied to the wires, and they move in the opposite direction when + and -12v are reversed. There is no set direction to install them, but you have to get the wiring right to make them move in the right direction when you want to lock or unlock the doors.
When either coil gets a ground signal on terminal 86, it causes the coil to move the internal switch from terminal 87A to terminal 87 which completes the circuit and sends +12v to one side of the actuators (which side depends on which relay coil you just energized). The other side of the actuators is still connected to ground via terminal 30,through the internal switch to terminal 87A ,which is grounded. The actuators move the opposite way when the other coil receives a ground signal on terminal 86.

The actuators can be bought at any good car stereo/alarm store or Ebay for under$10. The relays can be bought there too or at a car parts place (usually near the fog lights section) for around $5 each. This is an inexpensive project to do, and it is cool too! I prefer to use BOSCH relays for thier quality, I have had cheaper ones crap out on me before.

The physical install is easy too. The hardest part is getting the wires through the rubber conduit between the door and the body. If you look at the pic of my door, you will see where I decided to put the actuators. They fit perfectly behind the door skins here, and are parallel to the lock linkage. They are mounted on the removable cover, with a grommet for the wiring. The rod must be bent by you for proper operation. I drilled the hole in the linkage elbow to hook one end of the rod through it. The actuators come with "clips" that clamp onto the actuator rod and the lock linkage, but the linkage on Corvettes is too big a diameter for these "clips" to work. Bending the rods to work takes a little time, but use mine as guide for bending yours.

it works well with aftermarket alarms,
then you just use the remote key fob to activate.
