It doesn't matter. Your key won't work in the new one. They have to do something at the shop to make it work.
Actually you can remove it without the shop needing to do anything. My wife had an issue with ers, the dealer wanted to charge 200$ to fix it. I took it out, took it apart, cleaned it and reinstalled it and now it works fine. Its all over the internet how to do it.
actually your key will work in the new one... you require a 15 torx angled to remove the old ignition switch and the replace it in the same order in which removed... after that put the key in the ignition and turn as if you were going to start it and then the pass-lock sensor will come on the dash at this time its programming the pass-lock system for your key and after ten minutes go by then the pass-lock symbol will turn off and then turn the ignition as if you start again and then it will do the same thing 10 mins and then off and turn the ignition and wait another 10 minutes turn the key and it should start. and everything will work again....
however the Saturn dealer if they do it all they have to do is program it threw your computer thus making it less time for them but it can be done and the only place you can buy the ignition switch is at the dealer not avail anywhere else...
and this is a known defect with the car although Saturn will never admit it or will they replace it at no cost...

How do you remove the ignition switch in a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am?
The knob you pull out is attached to the switch. To get the switch out, you will have to remove the panel underneath the dash, and some of the HVAC ductwork that runs underneath. Disconnect the battery. On the back of the switch, under the dash, there will be a little button you will have to push in to get the switch's shaft & knob to release from the switch. After that is done, you will be able to pull off the trim going around the face of the dash. It should just snap on. Then there will be a nut holding the switch to the dash. Remove the nut, the switch will come out the back, and then you can unplug it. Replace in reverse of these directions, only leave the swith shaft/knob for last. It will just push back into the new switch.
