If the car was built in Norwood, it will say Z28 on the cowl tag. If it was built at Van Nuys, there is no information on the cowl tag or the VIN to identify a Z28. In this case, the surest way to identify a Z28 is with a build sheet or other documentation. Most Van Nuys built Camaros have one or more copies of the build sheet hidden in the car somewhere.
Look for the Z28 only options on the car. Only Z28 had the floor mounted gas pedals. Z28 should have two small chrome fangs or bumper guards under the rear bumper. Z28 should have spacers under the front suspension rubber snubbers.
Dual exhaust hangers indicate it was either Z28 or SS. Rear swaybar mounts on the frame aren't as useful because any Camaro could be ordered with them, but on a Z28 they would be mandatory.

Yes, the floor mounted gas pedal was used on the Z28 in both 1970 and 1971.
