I wouldn't replace the chain unless it was out of spec: IE cam more than 3 degrees late. In fact I didn't replace the chain when I replaced the front oil seal on my '80 300SD. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The 2 jobs are not related, seal job is done from underneath and chain is replaced from above except maybe to rotate the engine. by turning the crankshaft nut.
