Narrative:

NOTAM stated no RNAV departures from the runway. We departed the runway in heading select expecting radar vectors. ATC asked if we were going to turn based on the SID. We said we were expecting vectors. SID has us following specific instructions; but the NOTAM made it a bit confusing. ATC said no problem and we now know to follow the SID as published. No further incident occurred or conflicts with other aircraft.callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the flight's original clearance was depart runway 27 on the bluegrass 8 which was essentially runway heading for vectors. When the departure runway was changed to runway 18L the crew vaguely remembered the NOTAM and expected that the departure procedure would remain runway heading because their aircraft did not contain a GPS.
