Currently doing heads/cam...few questions

I ran a bunch of searches and couldn't find the exact information I needed so I figured I'd post and see if you guys could help.

I originally wanted to run a cloyes double roller timing set but I found that I can't unless I switch to the vented opti. Well, my cam is made for the vented opti as well (I know I can cut it down and all to make it work but it's just another reason to swap) and I want to put a new opti on anyways (even though it's only 3k old) since I'm doing the swap and don't want somethign as stupid as an opti to set me back.

Is it worth switching over? Is it very hard to do? And is there a complete guide that can get me through step by step? I know I have to order these...
95 GM Optispark 1104032
95 Opti elec harness 12130319
Opti vacuum harness 12555323
Opti vacuum fitting 14082470
95 Timing cover (incl all 3 seals) 12552426
GM timing cover gasket 10128293
95 Cam Timing Gear* 10206039
Stock replacement timing chain* 10128485
Intake Manifold Gaskets .
Water Pump Gaskets (2 required) 10128343

Would I need the cam timing gear if I'm converting to the cloyes double roller? I'm assuming not but again I'm not sure. If anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated. I really think it'd be worth swapping so I can run an electric h2o, cloyes double roller, and not have to worry about my opti going out every time it rains. Thanks guys...
