To change a cam you need to pull the UIM and LIM, and the timing chain cover. You will need to pull the valve covers and rockers, pull the push rods and the lifter holders. That'* in a nut shell. To remove the timing chain cover involves removing water pump, harmonic balancer and part of the oil pan.

Yeah I I new the routine for the cam and such. Planning on pulling the engine doing my last mount. The water pump and power steering pump. But I am unfamiliar with valve seals.

Valve seals are like little caps that sit on the valve stems, under the springs, to keep the oil from the valve cover area from getting into the engine. The procedure is that you pressurize your combustion chamber so that your valve doesn't fall in, and then you can remove the spring to put in a new one. Before you put on the new spring, take off the old valve seal that you will then see and put on a new one.
Here are some valve seals on valve stems. For this picture, there are no springs installed.
