Steering column swap

Hello Everyone, my name is Wayne. I have a 98 mark Vlll LSC I’ve owned for 21 years. Just replaced the blend door actuator and heater dampener lever today. I still have a used steering column to replace my current unit. Had an over travel and went into self destruct mode. Should I expect any pairing issues with any current control modules after installation ? Thank you for any advice.
 
I know there was a while when folks were swapping out columns with some regularity. I don't remember hearing about problems with the electronics. I think most of the "smarts" are located in modules elsewhere in the dash.

I'd dig in and hope for the best. :) If you see any boxes in there with serial numbers, set them aside in case they need to get swapped over to the "new" unit. PATS - the key chip system is the only "maybe" I can come up with, but I'm fairly sure that's all stored in a module that resides elsewhere.
