No, its held in with a pin.
Lookup any YouTube video on how to replace an ignition cylinder on a GM Passkey (vats) column. 99% of it is the same across the board.

Re: Key cylinder
On my 92 you have to remove steering wheel and beyond to access the screw/pin that holds it in

Re: Key cylinder
I know. but the book says to turn the key to run before it's disassembled. If I can't get the key to turn, I can't put it in run position. Good to know i can still change out the cylinder even if it won't turn. Fixing to be picking up the car next week
