Lay them side by side and have a look and see.
You will need to code the key on the new column to match your old key code or us your old ign key and tumbler.

I recently replaced a column in my 89 PA. I believe that particular version was used up to 90 or 91. Assuming GM keeps their parts more or less the same for several years in a row then I would assume that the parts will match up fine as long as they look identical. You would be well off to get the Vin# off the car you got the donor column as removing the tumbler assembly removal may be more of a hassle than it's worth. You might be able to just remove a couple of screws and have it slide out if you're lucky.

This is just from my experience with my 89. BTW, I had problems getting the end of the steering column shaft back into the knuckle (for lack of a better word) so I ended up grinding down the very outer surface of the shaft and greasing 'er up good. If yours is anything similar to mine, then you may need to do some similar "persuasion." HTH

the steering columns are alike from 91-93 for sure. In 94', the steering wheels were redesigned (however, the steering columns all "look alike" until the 96' models, they may or may not work with pre-94' styles because the wheel mounting bolts, air bag wiring, etc is different)
So the column you bought will fit! Good luck, you're in for one time consuming project!

well i took the linkage and everything from the 92. wiring and all.... just two bolts at the rack an pinnion.. then the two main bolts under the dash. and a couple of smaller screws in the cabin down by the floor.. then the wires. .. being carefull removing the bottom of the dash to get to the main bolts is goin to be tricky. but the two bolts on the rack an pinnion is gonna be the toughest part i think.
