It's actually the standard mount, but not specifically designed for the fbodies. Before I sold my bagged 99' S-10 I took all the stereo stuff out, including the sirius unit. So the Pro Fit bracket is for a 94-04 S-10, but I had to bend it sligtly to fit the camaro dash piece. Here are a couple more pics of how it's mounted:
It looks so so from the passenger side, but it works perfectly and that's really all I'm worried about till I upgrade to the add-on unit later on.

Then you will have to buy an auxiliary input adapter such as the PIE GM9-AUX to convert the CD changer port on the back of your HU for use with an auxiliary source. Finally, you will need a patch cable to connect from the audio out jack on the satellite radio (headphone plug) to the auxiliary adapter (RCA plugs).

You wont find it at RadioShack.
CircuitCity or BestBuy might have it in their car audio bay.
(not on their websites).
Or, you could buy it where I bought mine: www.myradiostore.com
Specifically:

(The pic is wrong, but its the right item.)
($70 + shipping)

The stock antenna can't be used for satellite radio reception - it's not tuned to the necessary frequency (not to mention it has the wrong impedance and connector).
Which radio do you want to get rid of the antenna for? You need an antenna to receive satellite radio but you can remove the stock AM/FM antenna and fill the hole just like any shaving job (door handles, etc.).

You cannot get rid of the antenna - without it you will get no reception at all. However, as Slammed99s10 said, you don't need a metal surface to mount the antenna. You can stick it on the roof with two-sided tape (although I would hate to use that stuff on a painted surface). You can mount it on the trim bar between the t-tops (plastic) and run the wire under the back edge of the bar. Or, you can read the various threads posted by VIP1 earlier in this thread to see other solutions for mounting the antenna such as inside the spoiler.
