I haven't futzed around on an old Camaro for a while but the regulator on my friend's 72 Chevelle (worked on last month) was mounted up on the radiator support behind the driver's side headlights. Square black box with a buncha wires attached to it.

On my 72 it was located on the radiator support on the driver side in the engine compartment. It is about 2" square in sizes and it has three bolts holding it on the side of the support. Hope this helps.

Ditto on my '73 (before I pulled it all apart)

It SHOULD be on the INTERNALLY REGULATED alternator.
How many wires do you have ? One under a rubber boot, and 2 on a pluf that fits in the side of the rear, correct ???
If you NEEDED an ext regulator, then it'd be on the firewall, and the alt would have 2 sets of plugs (2 wires each) attached.
