I'm sorry I worded the question wrong, could I get a GM interface without Onstar? Like would everything else work fine except Onstar? I don't really need it. Say, something like this or this?
It most certainly does work with your vehicle. However it's going to be overkill. Without steering wheel controls, just use the Axxess GMRC-01. WAYY cheaper. It doesn't give you all the OBD outputs that you'd use to connect a double din touch-screen, like parking brake, reverse signal for back up cam, etc. So if you're just installing a basic stereo, the GMRC is the way to go.

I see it for like $70. However, this should be just fine.
5 ch amp
Front Speakers
Subwoofer
Head Unit
Sub Box
HU Interface
Antenna adapter
Dash Kit
Amp install kit
This assumes you don't have bose or onstar, and if any of this is confusing I'd give Sonic Electronix or Crutchfield a call to make sure you get the right stuff for your head unit. I would bridge channels 1-4 into just your front speakers, leave the rear stock and powered by the hu for now.
The above is ~500. The next dollars I would spend would be for this
Subwoofer box is 10 inches high 12 inches deep so check for clearance
