Power Steering Swap

I just swapped a power steering gear from an '84 Chevy into my '68. It fit perfectly with no drilling, although I think I'll have to modify the bumper bracket when I put it on. Anyway, the stock steering column, which is staying put for a while, is now too long. Can I drill-out those little plastic plugs that keep the collapseable steering shaft from collapsing? Since it is secured at both ends, it won't move when driving. Any advice?
