I removed the dash covers and pulled the electrical plug off the back of the ignition switch. Now all that is left is a phillips head screw holding the switch but I cannot get access to it. I can see it . Do I have to take off the air bag, steering wheel, switches, etc., just to get that screw out?

You can get right angled screw drivers, this may give you a better shot at getting that screw out, if you can see it you may have better luck trying a right angled screw driver. I have added a pic od a typical right angled screw driver so you know what to look for, the come in various sizes and are very handy addition to your tool box.
