Probably not. They were allowed to certify an engine/trans combo that could then be used in any platform as long as the components were the same. So the L35 would already have been cert'd under the Camaro drivetrain.

According to JohnZ (Chevy engineer) the complete car had to be submitted for emission certification.
Here is a quote from a JohnZ thread on Team Camaro "EPA emission certification was done not only by powertrain, but by carline application, vehicle weight, aero drag, and coast-down horsepower testing, which created many variables. Every different situation required full EPA certification"
I also know that Yenko had to get EPA certification on the 1968 427 Camaro. He could not use the 427 Impala certification.
