The system you have on your Camaro is the one of the first system Chevy had where a computer was used. This system uses what was called the "CCC" (Computer Control Command) system. You should have a small flat 5 pin connector under the left side of the dash. This will hold trouble codes that are present when the check engine light is on. With this early system you cannot jump across terminals to read the codes like the later (OBD I) systems. If you have a Snap On MT2500 scanner or know a shop that has one, they will be able to use MULTI-1 connector to plug into the 5 pin block and read your codes.

Although this is old technology most any quality technician can read your codes for you. My experience is that when the check engine light comes on on those early models it's usually related to the EGR system in some way.

Good luck.
