A 1996 camaro has the same DISK brakes as a 2001. It does not have drum brakes.
I have seen some that would go in backwards But 99% of them will not set flat on the fly-wheel if it is backwards. The clutch disk will hit the fly-wheel bolts if not installed right.
You cannot physically put a clutch disk in backwards unless you force it together. If you do this you will destroy the clutch disc and possibly other clutch components.
Strong disk brakes Strong disk brakes
Likely it is a Disk brake. Unless you apply the brakes by peddling backwards, those are a form of drum brake.
disk.

Yes, it has front disk brakes and drums at back.
yes try to use clean and disposable gloves when handling disk brakes
Disk brakes by design do not have adjustments - the pads 'float' with the caliper and the piston movement.
I have had bikes with disk and regular brake pads. Disk brakes dont squeak like regular brake pads and stop you much shorter. This is why disk brakes are more expensive.
