The Pioneer AVIC F-series is double din. You have to modify the opening in the late-4th-gen Camaro and Firebird and make a new bezel to make it fit in place of the stock 1.5 DIN headunit. I have no clue how to make it fit in a Blazer.

I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3 (which is also double din) installed in my 2001 Formula:

You can make it fit your camaro with very MINOR adjustments to the stock radio bezel. You need to take your time and sand down the opening to fit the radio. Then go pick up a double din mounting bracket and mount it. You'll probably need to wrap the bezel in leather or apply some textured paint to it, so it will look stock. Good luck if you decide to do it, not many have tried.

Well, there's a little more involved in modifying the bezel. Double DIN head units are not only taller than the factory 1.5 DIN opening but they are also narrower. Some careful trimming, sanding, etc. will take care of making the bezel opening taller but you'll need to do some other work to fill in the sides of the opening. Many double DIN HUs come with a flat surround panel for the face that can be trimmed and glued to the factory bezel to take up the extra space.
