Default Do I have all the needed parts for a cam swap?

I can't find a concrete list of needed parts for a cam only swap. This is what I have/am getting:
timing gasket
camshaft
pushrods
springs, retainers, seats, valve seals
water pump gaskets
tools(springs tool and air tool to keep valves up and rods to keep up lifters)
crane cams HD timing chain

Do I have everything needed?

if youre getting a new timing chain, also get cam and crank sprockets. You can also check out lifters and rockers depending on the cars condition and cam youre getting.

Yeah got the tune lined up, I forgot injectors, ill look into getting them. Not sure about getting rocker arms yet. Might just get scorpions. If I have enough maybe i'll get Harland Sharp 1.7s. Also I have the crank bolt.
