Charlie23 is correct in his comments. Please be assured that all the ATCO is trying to do is move as many a/c as safely as possible in the minimum time. Sometimes, that may not be apparent from the pilots' point of view !
I think asking & informing,at an appropriate time, is the best course of action. Unless the ATCO is informed there is no way that he can know that an a/c has only one engine running. To base a "cunning plan" on the assumption that all a/c are ready, & then to find out that a key player is not, is frustrating & exasperating; & ruins the plan & leads to unnecessary delays.
So, passing the relevant info. To ATC is the way to go, for me.
