The cam code is most likely the magnet on the upper timing gear has fell off. Your going to need to pull the cam sensor out and rotate the engine slowly to see if its still there. If not the timing cover needs to come off and replace the magnet on the timing gear. Sorry this old girl is giving you so much trouble.

In truth the only thing the cam sensor does is give the ECM a reference for compression TDC to the ECM so it knows when to fire the injectors. With out the cam sensor it will have a extended crank and the injectors will fire from bank to bank and not in sequence. So I would say if you just want it to run and not invest a ton of time and money don't worry about the cam sensor. If it'* still stalling on you you have other issues to address. I would fix the O2 problem if I were you.

The sensor is easy it just pops in the front of the timing cover. The magnet for the sensor goes in behind the upper timing gear. So yes to replace the magnet you need to pull the balancer and timing cover.
