The seat mounting rails on an '80 seat are 19 inches from front mounting hole to the rear one. If the '76 are the same, they should bolt in.
I just put a set of '80 seats in my '69. The front seat mounts were O.K., but I had to drill new holes because the seat mounting rails were about 2 inches longer. Because the floor is fiberglass, I had to remove the mounting plates and remount them inline with the new hole. It wasn't that hard. Just took a little time.
