No, the actual engine installed is not indicated in the Cowl or VIN data - other than the VIN will indicate if it was originally an L-6 or V-8.
* If the VIN starts with 123378Nxxxxxx then the car was originally an L-6
* If the VIN starts with 124378Nxxxxxx then the car was orginally a V-8

The Cowl will always read 12437(coupe) or 12467(convertible)...

The Cowl also decodes:
68 = year model
12437;
1 = Chevrolet Division
24 = Camaro product line
37 = Coupe body structure assembly
NOR = Norwood, Ohio final assembly plant
110299 = 10,299th body assembly

Certain option combinations and other spotting features can help narrow the original drivetrain confiquration.
So post up you photos and observations and folks can help narrow the original engine - or -
