Can a '91 GTA column w/ key work fine in my '91T/A?

I want to replace my crappy '91 column with one from a '91 (same year ) GTA. I will have the key as well. Now will it be a simple plug-n-play thing, where everything snaps together and everything is fine and works like it did from day 1 OR will there always be a VATs problem between 2 different columns, regardless of years?

Thanks guys!!

you will need a key cut for the new column that has the VATS resistor for the old column, unless you got lucky & both keys have the same resistance on the VATS pellet, its a 1 in 15 chance.

you can measure the resistance of the pellets of both keys.
