I did it awhile back on my 84 when i put a keyless entry/alarm/remote start and one of the output wires for my new alarm was a disable signal for the factory alarm but i couldnt tell you which wire it was.

Here's the schematic for the '84 Theft Deterrent System and it has nothing to do with the door locks except that you arm the system by locking the left hand door with the manual lock and dis-arm by unlocking the door with the key.

On the '84 and only on the '84 you can disable by removing the 10a fuse behind the DIC labeled ANTI-THEFT FUSE in this drawing:bloodmanic;1544040 said:
