Removing key while engine running? 700 1986

I suspect the alarm would go off but I can't look at the alarm's documentation to know for sure.

If I had the alarm set for manual transmission remote start I bet it would disable it; but if I set the alarm to automatic transmission, maybe it wouldn't care how I left the vehicle.

What I really wanted to do was be able to remove my key from the ignition, maybe I can get a spare ignition lock from the junk yard and play with it :)
