Default Cam swap, making sure I have all parts

I think I have all the damn parts I need finally, just wanting to double check. Every time I search I find new stuff I need. Here's the list:

Cam, Springs, Push rods, timing cover gskt, crank seal, Balancer bolt, water pump gaskets, valve Seals. Oil/filter, extra coolant. Also Budlite. I know the gaskets are reuseable, but beter safe than sorry, I only have a weekend to do this swap!

tell me thats everything I need and I'll be happy. I'll have access to an air compressor (spring swap), now I'm trying to find these damn retractable telescoping pen magnets, or decideing to buy a tool from thunder racing.

Thanks Dozer. My old man told me to just get wood dowel rods, which I've heard of people doing.

Chrysler/Gm harmonic damper puller
5/16 dowel rods
Some extra valve spring keepers, just in case you lose one.
