thanks

Are you talking about the brace above the panhard rod, or the panhard rod itself? The panhard rod itself holds the rear end in place side-to-side, so yes, that bar is very necessary. The upper panhard brace gives the body side mount some rigidity, and while I wouldn't drive around for long without one, you'll probably be okay for a little while without the brace.

I was referring to a relocation bracket from Unbalanced Engineering (http://www.unbalancedengineering.com/Camaro/).
One simply makes room and the other addresses a handling issue.

Ah ... I see what BMR calls a "relocation bracket".

Laser cut steel brackets that relocate the panhard rod to lower the rear roll center 4 inches and also level it for lowered cars. These brackets result in additional rear grip in all phases of cornering. They require a panhard rod that mounts via 1/2" bolts and and require a competant welder for installation.
