The CD head unit will work and will not affect your keyless entry or alarm system in any way - unlike many newer GM models, your audio system is not connected to either of those systems.
Whether or not the changer will work depends on what year the CD head unit came from. All tape head units supported the external changer but only 2000 and newer CD head units support a changer. (Actually, the update was made in late '99 but you have to open up the head unit to determine if a '99 will work with the changer.)

The RADIO fuse is powered from the Body Control Module (BCM) via the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) circuit. Removing the RADIO fuse is not related to the radio specifically - it is used as a signal to the BCM which contains both the keyless entry circuit and the optional factory alarm "brains".
