Is there anything I'm missing for this weekends install?

This weekend I am installing LT4 ported and polished heads/intake, 1.6 RR, Jet Hot LTs and Hooker Y-pipe, 58mm Holley TB, XE cam, R lifters, SVO 30 lb. injectors, and new fuel pump. I will be getting my car dyno tuned afterwards. Is there anything else that needs to be upgraded/replaced? I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Timing chain would be a good idea. Also, there are lots of gaskets that are going to be replaced.

How about some new plugs and wires too (if you don't already have them.)

I have new plugs to put in (forgot to mention) and new wires were added at the end of last year before it went into storage. I knew I forgot something...the timing chain. What do you suggest for a timing chain, recommendations?

There will be definitely 2 people, maybe 3 working on it this weekend. If all goes well, it should be completed by Sunday night.

Yes your correct.
The extreme duty cam sprocket is for the long dowel pin on 96 newer cars.
