there are 2 harnesses that come off the factory radio, the smaller one (on the left in picture 1) is used for the CD changer, unless you have one you don't need to worry about it.
if your new radios harness has NO orange wires then that means it's a model with NO dimmer function, those wires will go unused.
the solid blue wire is used as a turn on signal for the power antenna, you don't have a power antenna on camaros so you don't need to worry about it, the blue with white stripe on the new radios harness is used to either trigger a power antenna or as the remote wire for aftermarket amps, if you have neither of those it goes unused as well.
