Not all of your label tabs have text in them, so I'm assuming they are for the bolts holding the seal cover.

Disconnect the safety switch and the column should be free to come out and then it's time for that Barley Pop!

The other fasteners you're calling machine screws don't need to be removed.
You're correct. Technically the brake booster, held by four studs through the column support bracket, and one bolt into the cover you're referring to. That cover uses two bolts to the firewall, one for the clamp.

Thanks to your help I realize this is near ready to pull. I'll get an extra set of hands this weekend, pull this out an move onto the brakes. Thanks for helping ID parts too. That's a battle itself.
