So was the car ready when the engine made it to the Dress Line in normal situations? Was the cowl tag already on the car?

Very good read:
http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml#fisher

Yes, the completed engine and transmission were sent from the Engine Dress Line to the Chassis Line for installation in the subframe. The completed subframe and chassis components were sent to the Final Line for installation to the body.

Yes, the cowl tag was already on the car. It was installed at Fisher Body during the body framing operation.

The car assembly was like clockwork. Fisher Body did their part in 2 days, Chevrolet took 1.5 days for their part....a completed Camaro in 3.5 days. Pretty cool!

Here's a photo from the CRG that shows the cowl tag in place during body framing.
