I bought '94 Trans Am without front lower air dam deflector. Noticed all square metal nut inserts missing in lower radiator support that air dam is screwed to. I was looking all over the internet and cannot find any. Is there a particular pn for these or are they part of the radiator support? What can I use as a replacement?

I am not sure what they look like, but you may want to do a search for "U-nuts." They clip over sheet metal and provide a threaded area to tighten bolts into.

Or install Rivnuts.

There are 5 or 6 nuts embedded in the lower support,parts layout catalog does not show a p/n for them so they are probably part of the lower support.

There is also something called a "nutsert" (same thing as a Rivnut, I believe) that is like a wall anchor, but for heavy sheet metal. You need a tool to insert them much like a rivet, but they work well.

these are the embedded nuts that I believe the OP is referring about.
