Yes the cam oiler clips are critical. they like to fail w/ age and take your cam/rockers/towers with it. I install mine w/ a small body hammer and a paint stick...Slowly working up and down the line trying to seat them all as evenly as possible before they are all installed.

I would Def. do the chain.. hell, I would pull the front cover and renew the other rails while the engine is out...But if I remember this car isn't going to be around for the long term, no?
