I've got C5 seats in my '70 and had to mount them hard to the floor to get enough head room to not break my neck getting in and out.

It's the headlight over ride which allows the lights to remain up while you do maintenance.
Order an owner's manual for your 80. The owner's manual explains the over ride and is full of other useful information you need to know about the car.

if you consider seats other than corvette you may want to check out some fiero or 1st gen toyota mr 2 seats. i have these in my 77. very comfy and they mount very easily. i have a fixed steering column and have plenty of clearance with my legs and headroom to spare. i only had to slightly modify the yota seat tracks to bolt right down. plus theyre 19 inches wide. same as your average c3 seat. not to mention they are dirt cheap. ive bought 3 sets ( i really love em!) for 100.00 a set.
