That's pretty easy, but you have to open the front trunk to do it.

Aside: If your front trunk is locked or you can't get into it, remove the front bumper. Four bolts in the fender wells on the 70-74 cars; one bolt under each arm of the two "bumper shocks" on a 75-76. You'll find a hole in the front panel that you can stick a screwdriver through to actuate the trunk release.

Once the trunk is open, you look up in the upper corner of the compartment for two Allen-head bolts. Those hold the handle onto the body of the car--which should tell you they're waaaay up in there! Remove those, and you can pull the handle out and down. You'll find a set-screw in the handle which was hidden when it was all bolted to the body. Remove the set-screw and you should be able to remove the lock cylinder.
