Default Is possible my z28 not have abs in the back fom factory??

I installed a set of headers and a catback in my camaro last weekend. Now i going to change the gears too from 2.73 to 3.42. I checked my car and it not have reluctors and sensor in the axels like a 4 channel but now it not have any sensor in the top of the pumpkin like 3 channels. Not have any electrical sensor in the rear end. Now my question is, it can be possible that my car does not have rear abs from factory?
My car is one of the plain ones NO pw/seat,pw/wind,pw/mirros,trac control/cruse control,ttops,etc not have any options from factory.

pretty sure ABS was standard and TC was optional. look around for unused wiring near rearend. rear might have been changed at some point.
do you have the ABS block under the hood ?

Somebody had to have altered the original system. Abs was standard on all cars.

If it was a 3 channel car the wiring for the speed sensor in the pumpkin would have been in the rear bulkhead pass through along with the fuel pump wiring. Its possible the wires were cut or unpinned.

Are you sure its a 10 bolt and not a 12 bolt with no ABS option?

It have to be 3 channel. The car have no TC. Now the thing is when you touch or look in top of the pumpkin is no sensor or tap for a sensor. I have to look again to see if i find some wiring cutting.
This is my #6 Camaro Ls and I'm 200% positive is a 10 bolt. I going to take picture next time because i not even believe Myself in this situation!

The 4 channel housings did not have the hole cut. It's simple really, it started life as a three channel car, rear end had issues, and someone swapped a 4 channel housing in but reused your axles and brakes. Very common practice. They probably just unplugged the rear abs connector from the rear of the car. Done.
