Your 82 doesnt have any provisions for swaybars. However this can be
easily remedied by replacing the rear lower control arm mounting bracket
with one which has provisions for a swaybar mount. You can retro this
easily from parts in your local junkyard. Be sure to get the clip too! 

Then, you will need to drill holes into the lower control arm itself OR
again, you can just get a set of lower control arms from the junkyard
which have the holes already drilled. 

I bought Neuspeed Swaybars (Used from the internet) and was able to
(modify) fit them without any problem.

One last thing, you cant use the swaybars that you found above. Those are
for A2's only. You need to find A1 swaybars. 
HTH!!
