Some peoples pins come out easy. My stock cam and LT4 hot cam's pins wuoldn't come out. had to use a vice.

you should have rotated the crank to #1 TDC and it would have come right out. if you were able to turn the crank possibly by attaching the hub back on or just trying by hand then that cam sprocket will rotate around and give you enough slack to pull the chain off.

By the position in your pic, I can see how there won't be any way for it to pivot. The dowel is too high.

Thank you! I got it! Once the pin was lower, I was able to get it off. Now that I know, it was actually really easy. Kinda like most things.
