My ignition switch is very flakey, and I want to remove it as part of the general re-wiring. It looks like I have to remove the column itself to get at it. True?

I'm considering switching to a dash mounted switch, like the 914-6. I presume a 911 switch will do here just fine. I'm also wondering about steering columns. Is the 914-6 column just a 911 column? Will a 911 column just bolt in? (This is a '71, btw). I presume real 914-6 columns are pretty rare (if they're not just early 911/912 columns).
