Yes, you can use it to mount a double DIN in an f-body but it's not as sturdy as metal brackets and you still need a custom bezel. I used this Metra kit originally but upgraded to metal brackets after a few weeks.
You have to remove the 'Tab" at the back in order for the double dinn unit itself to fit, it has nothing to do with the bezel. Maybe you mean install kit/sleeve? In which case, the kit/sleeve does nothing other than bolt into the side of the head unit, and into the factory retaining bolt locations in order to hold the unit to the car. The tab has nothing to do with anything other than, theoretically, securing the head unit in the back of the car. I personally have never seen one used. Im unsure if theyre used from the factory as all my fbods have had aftermarket stereos when i bought them. When i installed my double dinn, i just bought some aluminum L brackets and drilled hold where needed, and cut where i didnt need it. I removed the tab, and the bottom of the factory shelf. Its more sturdy now with the metal brackets than the factory head unit was on the "shelf". Im not an expert, just sharing my personal experience. Hope it helps

I have had to remove the tab on every aftermarket radio I've installed in an F-body and several other vehicles that had the same type of "mount". It does get in the way and is easily removed generally. The F-body one is plastic and can be cut off fairly easily.

I've used his mounting kit, and it works. Might not "look" secure but it never moves and fits perfectly. The only thing I have problems with is the number of wires in the back of my HU makes it difficult to stuff behind the stereo. But that's a pioneer issue...
