Steering Column / Ignition question?

Steering Column / Ignition question?
Ok.. I'm new here, so be patient...
I have a 2001 Camaro that has a broken steering column ( physically cracked at the tilt mechanism/broken components...)
To make matters worse, I lost the keys in a big clean up event a few weeks ago ( trash now...) so the car is sitting in the driveway
I have a replacement column available in a few days with key, for $50.00 complete with steering wheel and SIR bag.
If I replace the coulmn, it will fit directly, as it is from a 2001 also.
However, I get conflicting data as to whether or not the car will even start when I am done..?
If not..
A. Tow to dealer..cost $ 75.00 PLUS $ 40.00 to "sync" the new column?
B. ... really? is there ANYTHING I can do that will get the car started and alarm disabled?
Please advise, as I try to do all of my work myself when I can...
