Camaros are unibody. No frame, just suspension hung from points on the unibody structure. You could use parts from it though.

Scrap it. There's probably not much on it that's worth the effort of removing. Front suspension is struts, and like Frizzle Fry said, bolt into a uni-body chassis... no frame, the body itself is the structure. The rear diff might be worth keeping?????
