*Question* on Column Shift Delete - 69 w/Power Steering

Currently doing a console conversion & have the column shift delete bowls from Classic Industries ready to install.
I'm fairly familiar with column disassembly but want to verify that the shift tube can be left in with the new parts. I know if I remove it I'd need a different lower bushing. Would also rather not remove the whole column if I can avoid it.
