Putting a 87 firebird automatic into neutral without a key

I’m buying a parts car on Saturday that doesn’t have keys and I need to be able to have it towed to my house. 87 firebird v6 auto trans. I don’t know if it has vats or not. Can I stick a screw driver in and just force it or no?

Disconnect the cable at the trans and move the lever by hand

Don't force anything
