Went to add a rear sway bar to my 83 Firebird... but no end link mounts?

Went to install a rear sway bar from an Iroc I had picked up on my 83 Firebird base model but when I got under there I saw there never was one from the factory!

How can I retrofit the end link mounts?

Those are the ones! Thanks JamesC.

Though I bet it'd be easy to just go snap four bolts trying to remove these off a junk car haha
