Although I'm not sure if things would have been that different if Groo hadn't shown up, I don't think Cordelia was aware of her feelings yet...
I think things would have been very different.

I think he would've caught her off guard because she was still in denial of her feelings for him, and she might have initially rejected him that night, or been so confused/flustered she gave him no real answer. But learning of his feelings earlier would've also then got her thinking about her own sooner. She'd immediately start looking at their friendship through a 'wow - Angel might actually have feelings for me' lens and I think that'd prompt a much faster discovery of her own. I think hers definitely already existed at that point, she just wasn't ready to confront them/believe 'Buffy's Angel' could have romantic feelings for her.

No Groo means she probably wouldn't have left to go on vacation. Cordy being around might have changed things with Connor's kidnapping, etc.
