We do include a drill bit and tap for the pan. We added those parts several months back. Never thought of a spring tool? I will look into that.

Why LS2?

The LS2 is a stronger factory replacement and they are pretty cheap.

Agreed... The Cloyes LS2 single roller is a hard bang for the buck to beat, otherwise they offer a Hex-adjust single roller with the C5R chain for an extra fee. Cloyes is the OEM supplier for GM by the way.
