Default VATS Decoder Module No-Start Failure

My 88 ran great but now it will not crank.
The diagnostic read-out code indicates that the VATS (vehicle anti-theft
system) decoder module has failed.
I live in Hawaii and the local GM dealership cannot be trusted to fix the
problem.
Can I bypass the decoder module somehow?
Other than replacing the decoder module and the lock cylinder, is there any
way to get the car to start?
I am desperate

I welcome any advice and am grounded in Hawaii
