Default 1977 anti-theft switch??

I've seen in several places that the antitheft switch on the driver's side fender was removed in 1977. Mine has one. ....what up with that?

During the 77 production year they moved the switch from the fender to the driver door lock.

To activate the alarm system , lock the driver's door with the key and remove the key while turned to the left. Do not center the key.
