After I thought it was done draining I figured there had to be some more still in there since the car was sitting level side to side. I got my floor jack out and jacked the front passenger corner up until the tire was a few inches off the ground. The rear diff started to pour allot more out of the system. Those who do not do this are not getting the entire old fluid out. By the way another TIP OF THE WEEK (from someone else this time) place a hockey puck between the jack and the Camaro jacking point, this prevents the metal from being abused. Once it was done draining I replaced the lower plug and proceeded to fill the top side using a hand pump I purchased on eBay.

Good Luck
and how much did you put back in? is it the usual fill it till it seeps out of the fill hole? the manual says 1 quart, right?
