You're in luck for the speed sensor wire in a Camaro because they came with speed sensitive volume on the radio. The dark green with white wire in the white 10-pin connector for the head unit is the speed sensor (Camaro only - Firebirds do not have this wire).

For reverse though, you're going to have to be like everyone else and run it from the backup lights. Unfortunately, there is no in-dash reverse signal wire. You could run it from the backup light switch (neutral safety switch in an automatic) on the side of the transmission but running from the tail lights is actually much easier since you don't have to go from outside the car to inside.
