No key chip. There is a hall effect sensor mounted in the
ignition lock cylinder, the hall sensor signals to the instrument
cluster at the exact correct instant that the ignition is powered
up to determine whether it's an authorized start or a theft.

Nope, the repair will involve replacing the hall effect sensor in
the lock cylinder (common failure). Nothing special about the
keys on a 96 Malibu.
