When I did a floor shift conversion in my '80 (from 3ott to 4 spd on the floor) I "pinned" the steering column bowl in the upright and locked position. That way the key would go in and out without any difficulty. I also cut the nub off the column and mounted my Sun tach over the hole.
I used a separate toggle switch for backup lamps; that way I could use them for hooking up the trailer in the dark, too.
