Here's a link to some pics of an LT1. Might help. Those 3 that are on the fender always are a pita cuz they rust and break off half the time...

by the sides where it meets the fender there are 2 studs that go through the fender and bumper then going horizontal there is 1 10mm might need a light to see it. There are 2 plastic shields that bolt to the bottom of the bumper also. Also after you get the bolts out you have to slide the bumper down off them studs. The rest I think you have. So 6 plugs 4 nuts 2 bolts then all the 10's for them 2 shields under it.

Did you put the headlights up and get the one that goes in from the front near the headlight opening? This pic may help:
