This. I sold a ton of GM ignitions (both switches and tumblers) when I worked in a parts store. Cheap and easy

How to remove switch without key:
Quote:
Remove the steering wheel, and pull the turn
signal switch out of postion. under that you will see a
screw by the tumbler(thats what you want to remove
right?) most of the time this screw is 1/2 covered by a
set of contacts in a piece of plastic. You need to
pull that straight out then remove the screw. after
that screw is removed, you can pull the tumbler right
out with or without key. Then you can re-install it
and go cruzin'!!

This is direct quote from the Chevrolet
manual.
Inserta a small screw driver or similar tool into the
turn signal housing slot as shown in figure B-62.(I
will describe this at the end)Keeping the tool to the
right side o fthe slot, break the housing flash loose
and at the same time depress the spring latch at the
lower end of the lock cylinder. with the latch
depressed the lock cylinder can be removed from the
housing.
There are 2 slots side by side just below the upper
right screw hole that hold the turn signal cam on. You
want to stick the screwdriver into the slot on the
right.
In the picture they are using a small
machinists ruler to remove the casting flasha and depress
the spring. This is how I did mine when I swapped the
cylinder from my non tilt column to the new tilt column,
Because I was having dificulty getting a screwdriver to
do the trick.
It will probably take you
several tries to get the spring depressed.
