While you have the front seats out the front carpet can be easily removed. But 1981 carpets are bad quality and desintegrate. I replaced mine with 1990 style which are more ridgid and water proof.
Now you can inspect the metal floor and repair if needed. Front windshield bottom corners tend to leak and damage to the floor result.
If there is any sign of corrosion it is a good idea to drive a couple of weeks without carpets and find where water get in.
In Canada 1981 driver side had seat heater, bottom and back.
