When you removed the rack & pinion unit you allowed the steering wheel to rotate, now the steering wheel position sensor needs to be nulled.

This has to be done with a Tech II.

A tech II is basically the scanner GM techs use to reflash your computer and pull codes and what not.

You need to visit the dealer.
