You could do it all with a test light/DMM or pay a visit to your local library or try a Camaro Forum.
You are looking for the following:-
Constant 12V+ (fusebox).
Ignition switched ACC wire probably in existing loom.
Ground ditto.
Illumination possibly ditto.
Antenna pulse (remote turn-on) if vehicle originally had an auto aerial.
4 or 8 (2 or 4 pairs) of speaker wires.
Please be very careful, some GM vehicles of that vintage used the vehicle chassis as a ground return for the speakers, that would be disastrous for any modern head unit.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.
