Get a good set of dual valve springs. I would go with the patriot dual's. You get the titanium retainers, locks, seats and viton valve seals for $290 or something close to it.
Get a set of comp r lifters.
Timing chain and gaskets are good to have too.

oil pump wont hurt while your in there especially since your a pre 01 car. And an ASP pulley goes nicley with a cammed car too. Since you have the 12 bolt w/ 410 I would shoot at the G5x3 or F13. thats what im about to get. If you have the $ to spare, TSP has great deals on LS6 intakes too....
good luck either way.

I can vouch for the G5X3 too, stomps my previous setup and is perfect for daily driving, I drive my car everyday and love it. I haven't enjoyed my car this much in about 2 years! Now that I have an awesome setup with the X3, I miss my car when I don't drive it 
I can't say enough about how badass that cam is, it sounds mean as hell and performs better than it sounds
