The following is a breakdown of rear axle ratios available on a 1987 Z28 (without the IROC-Z option):

LG4 - MM5: 3.23 RPO GU5
LG4 - MX0: 2.73 RPO GU2
LB9 - MM5: 3.08 (required G80) RPO GU4
LB9 - MX0: 2.73 (required G80) RPO GU2

LG4 = 305 carb
LB9 = 305 TPI
MM5 = 5-speed
MX0 = Automatic
G80 = Limited slip differential

No optional ratios were available.
