So you're trying to remove the headlight?

step 1) leave the light bulbs in the headlight, but disconnect them from the wiring.

step 2) (see 2nd pic) you will see a bracket above connecting the light to the bumoer support thing. There are two 10mm bolts, remove both and take the bracket off. ***EDIT- only remove the one 10mm bolt that connects to the light. don't bother taking out the second one.

step 3) (see 1st pic- the headlight is laying upside down, so imagine it the other way.) the headlights have two hooks on them that fit into notches in the bracketing that the lights rest on. For the driver side, you'll slide the light to the left to release the hooks from the slots, and then pull up and out. pull the right side of the light out first and then the left. Do the opposite when you install (left side in first, then the right side.)

It may take a little finagling to get it out, but thats all it takes. If i missed something or made a mistake someone can chime in. I'm going off of memory since i dont have the camaro anymore...

You can also take out the 5 pins on the top of the bumper cover, then pull the cover over the foam bumper and it gives you a lot of extra room.
