Anti theft control switch removal - Help

1980 L48 Auto

I'm trying to remove the anti theft control switch that is alongside the driver's door key lock. If anyone has removed this switch before could you provide a short synopsis of how it was done?
Thanks

It has a u shaped flange that slides into two slots on the door lock. I finally got it out. You slide it in the direction of the front of the car. The plunger that breaks the alarm circuit was sticking. I drenched the inside through two small hole on the switch with contact cleaner and lubed the plunger. It was a b*tch getting back in. The two long legs of the U shaped bracket have to slide on to the lock just right.

Thanks for offering to help. Much appreciated.

Here's a link to the switch. http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/diagr.../index/id/121/

I just realized something. The switch I removed and cleaned may only be there in case the lock is punched out. Does anyone know if that's the case? I went out to check and the cylinder that the switch rides on doesn't seem to rotate. The problem I'm having is that intermittently the alarm will go off when I open the driver's door. Most of the time the alarm functions as designed but occasionally it malfunctions.
