steering column problems

i have an 89 camaro rs with the chip in the key
i am going to swap the steerinmg column with my 87 that has the same options as the 89
boy i am having trouble in my dimmly lit garage to find the bolts to do so.
well im goin to rip and tear today and remove the one from my 87 and hope i have time to removew and reinstall it in my 89
any hints would be appreciated since i doubt ill get it done today

oops i guess that one didnt have the keyed key either
i figured i just hard wire the key in so it was in the origanal ign. but under dash
i did that after i tried iut and got nothing
then i tried to run a hot wire off the starter in case its just a bad ignition
nothing just rolls over
so i hot wird the old key in still nothing
then i tried tying the wires together nothing

what should i do
oops i forgot to tell you im captain destructo
i destroyed the old column to get the key and wiring for th e chip
what should i do do you have any ideas or suggestions anyone?
