Yes, you have to at least raise the condenser up high enough to slide the rods in and to pull and re-install your cam. By the way , I just installed the same cam that you have today and so far everything has gone perfect. Good luck!

I saw a thread last night were some guys had trouble with a leakdown tester holding the valves. If you have problems try tapping the retainer lightly to loosen the valve locks. If it doesnt work you can just use the TDC method. I beleive its covered in the ls1howto write up
