Default ignition lock cylinder

Hey all, have a quick question. I picked up a little v6 car for a project car but the owners have lost the keys. I went to the dealership yesterday and had a new set cut but the ignition key did not work. Door key worked great. I need to get the steering wheel unlocked so I can load the car on a trailer and get it home. I'm wanting to know if I simply removing the ignition lock cylinder, can I turn the steering wheel? I'm not worried about the car starting, I just need to be able to steer it.

Thanks for any advice you can give!

to remove the ignition lock cylinder u will need to pull the stering wheel off, so that u can pull the bolt out so u can slide the cylinder out and u should be able to start it with out it. unless the secerty goes off. but yeah u will have to pull the wheel to get the cylinder out.
