Welcome to 2CarPros. If this is the stock GM suspension it isn't a true coil over system. The shock mounts in the middle but the spring base is in the lower control arm. As such you need to compress or restrain the spring before you remove the lower arm. Be very careful as the springs have a lot of force and can do serious damage if they fly out.
