Tod,
I realize you do not have a key, but these are the instructions from a 74 Vega service manual.
Lock Cylinder
The lock cylinder is located on the upper right hand side of the column. The lock cylinder should be removed in the "Run" position only. Removal in any other position will damage the buzzer switch. The lock cylinder cannot be disassembled. If replacement is required, a new cylinder, coded to the old key must be installed.
Removal
1. Remove the steering wheel and directional switch.
2. Do not remove the buzzer switch or damage to the lock cylinder will result.
3. Insert a small screw driver or similar tool into the turn signal housing slot. Keeping the tool to the right side of the slot, break the housing flash loose and at the same time depressing the spring latch at the lower end of the lock cylinder. With the latch depressed, the lock cylinder can be removed from the housing.
