Brian,
My advice is to spend another $30 and buy a copy of the Corvette Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) for your '79 car. It has drawings of all the installation processes used on the final assembly line at the vehicle assembly factory (Bowling Green, KY). If you are going to do any work on your own car, it is an indispensible aid.

Good advice above but to answer your question, your 79 is most likely pretty similar to my 75 and if so it's pretty easy to do. I've had mine out a couple of times, I could easily see what hardware had to be removed. Hopefully someone with a 79 will chime in with better info.
