i installed a remote door lock kit, from jc whitney, a couple of years ago in our 79.
remote box is in the drivers kick panel, but had to run the wires all the way to the drivers side master lock switch in the door panel. to get it to work correctly.

If you don't want/need an alarm you can get just the keyless entry that hooks into your factory power locks:

Cheapest way to go:
For those who need the door actuators, $5.50 is hard to beat.

And of course, you need the transmitter and receiver. For 6 amps worth of control:

And for 15 amps of control:
