No, the lock pawl is the metal tab on top that blocks the shifter tube from moving when the key is not turned. Likewise, it keeps you from removing the key before having it in Park. Since you are going to put the spare column in, I would rebuild your original on the bench and swap it back in when you have time later.

Anybody know how to remove this plactic hanger that holds the shifter linkage onto the steering column?

I'm pretty sure it just slides out. It's been a while since I messed with any steering columns. I think it's just pushed into place so it should just push back out of the notched out part

I had trouble with that too. Not sure exactly how, but I slid a screwdriver in between the plastic and the bracket and released the clip.
