I forgot to mention pulling any relays as well especially for time delay interior or head light circuits.

Thanks guys for your responses. The battery is an AC Delco brand. I drove the car today after having a hard time again starting it, then disconnected the battery and checked it with a battery tester, 12.0 volts. I'll let it sit with the battery disconnected and then use the tester again in a couple days. Sometimes I don't think of the simplest things first.

My bet the battery is junk.

Well after getting around 2 feet of snow and losing electricity, cable (TV and internet), and landline phone line (yeah I refuse to give up my old phone) I finally had a chance to full around with the '02 Camaro in the cold garage.
With the battery negative cable disconnected the battery held a charge for 4-5 days. After connecting it again the battery went down to 5 volts in a couple days. The 12V light tester lit up quite a bit when using it to test for battery drain.
I am assuming this means something is draining the battery when the car is off?
Now to the hardest part, trying to find where the drain is.

Thanks again guys for your input and help.
