I haven't looked to closely at the spindals on these cars, but I have changed them on a late 80's camaro.

You need to take the disc and bearing off the car. The center cap behind the rim should pry off they there is a pin going through a big nut to keep it from backing out. Remove the pin and nut, then pull the disc off. (if the disc just slides off with the claliper removed that you will only be removing the bearing housing that has the lug nuts attached to it)

Now, the spindle should be attached to the lower ball joint and the strut. The lower ball joint should just unbolt, and the strut should have 2 bolts connecting it to the top of the spindal. Unbolt it and it should come out.

I'll have my car on a lift tomorrow. I'll pull the wheels off the front and see how the sucker really comes off if you need me to. I could even take a few pictures.
