Air condition switch replacement
Which switch are you talking about? If your talking about any of the switches in the dash you can probably replace them, I would suggest that you get the repair book or at least pictures on how to remove and reinstall all the necessary componets

First things first, what makes you sure the injectors are not firing?? Second is the Security light in the instrument cluster on?

What does the cam sensor on a 01 malibu do
To answer the first question, "What does the cam sensor on a 01 Malibu do?": A cam sensor is actually a camshaft positioning sensor.
The Camshaft sensor determines which cylinder is firing to establish injector synchronization and coil firing sequence in DIS systems.
There is also a Crankshaft sensor which sets ignition timing, supply the RPM signal, and determines the engine speed.
The Camshaft Position sensor is typically located in the cylinder head of the engine and has a cylindrical portion that inserts into the head.
The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block.
You can read more about it here:

I would first check for any OBD codes- and based upon what the reader displays, work from there. You may also want to have a copy of your car's injector circuit and wiring diagram available; along with a troubleshooting and testing guide for same.
Here's a youtube link that gives you some idea regarding a car's injector system: http://youtu.be/JTCgUY51g0s
2001 malibu starts up but then dies immediately.
It sounds like a security problem. Try to start the car, leave the key on for 10 minutes. Cycle the key off then see if it starts. If not repeat this process. If it does start then you will have this problem again, untill you have the passlock sensor replaced. Good Luck.
How do I reset the ignition
the theft light is probably on. Computer sends a kill battery message and needs to be reset. There is a pattern to get the thing off, check your manual. But, if I remember correctly, put key in ignition. Turn to auxiliary position.Let it sit like that for at least 7 minutes. Once the theft light goes OFF, turn the key back to the OFF position, then turn the car on. Don't go from auxialry to ignition without turning the key position from auxiliary back to off before turning car on, or you have to start from square one.
How to disable anti theft in1997 buick no chip in key
The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well.
