I believe those ones in the vents are just the slightly larger 2 5/8" guages sunk into the stock air vents. The pillar pod is probably just mounted on there with plastic retainers supplied with the pod (avalible from autometer and some other companies). The a-pillar pods usually house the smaller 2 1/16" guage.
Really depends on what guages you're planning to use as to what wires need to be run where (other than the neccesary lighting power/ground).
When I swap to the 4thgen dash I'll be doing something similar.

Along the same lines, does anyone know if autometer or some other company make a bezel to go around the stock guages to house 2 1/16" size guages like some mudstains and honduhs?

Nope. the fbody platform has 2 things to choose from for "perfect fit" stuff. Jack and ****. you have to use pods or fab up an ABS plastic piece on your own. About the ONLY thing available are the A pillar pods for the 2 1/16th. I run a few gauges in my car but have them all mounted in cage mount pods.

There is a triple pod for on top of the dash (I can give you a p/n) and Autometer makes single, dbl & triple pods for the pillar. But other than that it's like Boyce said....especially for a Camaro that doesn't have the vents like TAs do.
I did a little write up on this forum about installing a triple pod w/elec gauges that might help you.
