Default oil pump question

Got a quick question guys. I'm going to be putting my cam in soon, and I've ordered an LS2 timing chain because the truck has roughly 150K on the clock, yes I know it's alot. I am thinking about changing the oil pump to an LS2. Do you recommend this? Also do I need to change the crank and cam gears or just swap the chain and pump out? Thanks in advance.

i went with a double roller timing chain - just my preference....as for the oil pump - with 150k miles it wouldnt be a bad idea to put a new one in

Should I get the LS2 cam and crank sprockets, or will mine work fine?

You don't need the sprockets just the chain is fine.
