Just get decent quality scissor type jack and jack it from the axle at the rear, and under the lower wishbone at the front if ever needed...as you would with a trolley jack..

So you want a stock style jack and an axle stand in the boot ?
You jack your car high enough with that type of jack to get an axle stand under it and your asking for trouble.
Those kind of jacks are for getting just enough room to change a wheel, any higher you´ll have to jack in the centre of the car, front or rear axles.
As for the handbook they´re pretty vague, go for something like this a Chevrolet Camaro V8: 1970 thru 1981 (Haynes Repair Manuals) http://www.amazon.com/Chevrolet-Camaro- ... hop+manual

or, and I prefer Chilton´s....Camaro 1967-81 (Chilton's Repair & Tune-Up Guides)
http://www.amazon.com/Camaro-1967-81-Ch ... hop+manual

My tuppence worth....

Ok, thanks for the info there So unlike more recently made motor vehicles there's no actual specific jacking points? i.e near the body seams

Easiest way to jack on the body is on the front subframe as it's the most solid bit of metal on the car, and easily accessible from the side.

The manuals should have a picture of your jacking points.

Mine is up in the air at the moment, stands under the front A arms and
in the rear under the frame just in front of the trailing arms fixing point.

I get the front up first using the middle of the cross member, place ramps under the wheels.
Then I jack the rear under the diff. placing axle stands under the axle.
I jiggle this around using the trolley jack until I have the working space I need.

Personally with today´s traffic I would´nt change a wheel by the roadside.

Taken from my Chilton 3rd Gen manual, same for most sub framed vehicles.
