I don't have my parts here at the house but I believe the standard JL8 setup used the single retaining pin and so the standard Corvette calipers can be used. But for racing purposes they recommended using the J56 caliper setup with the dual reataining pins for smoother pad movement.

Don't know if the actual J56 calipers will work with the Camaro, but GM released a drawing that shows how to modify the JL8 calipers for use with the flanged J56 pads.

Yes, they show how to remove that top pin retaining tab and drill the holes in each end for the 2 pin setup using the J56 pads but not J56 caliper.
