Default Camshaft help

I am going to change my stock camshaft and cam gear with a comp 400 camshaft and a fidanza gear. I was reading about what you have to do to get the camshaft out and it said i have to drain the coolant, take off the head, the header, and the intake manifold. Is this true or is there any easier way to do it or is that the only way?

no just timing belt has too come of and cam gear then tilt the motor. take out the battery and fuse box and it slide out. you might wanna take out the rocker assembly it makes the cam come out alot faster
