My guess is "yes", but it's likely to require taking the bolts out of the motor mounts and raising the motor a bit to get the oil pan out. I had a car many years ago, and did the same. The oil pickup and crossmember/steering gear was in the way of pulling the pain completely out until I raised the motor 2-3", then it came out. Of course, a camaro is a smaller car and may have limited space. The thing that most comes to mind s the distributor and firewall interference, but then if they are pulling the intake and head, then the distributor is no longer an issue.
