Default Cam Swap: Am I Forgetting Anything?

Parts on the way are:

MS4
PRC dual springs / TI retainers / seats
LS2 timing set
7.4 hardened push rods
HV LS6 oil pump


I have allready:

25% ud pulley / belt ( needs new bolt ) GM?
oil
filter
coolant
valve spring compressor ( borrowed )
compression tester ( using threaded part to pressurize cylinders )
water pump
160 therm


Anything I am forgetting? I am re-using my stock lifters untill I get some LS7 ones later along with head swap.

Thanks

Will the new pump come with one or do I need to get one from GM?

I bought an LS6 pump, unported etc. it did NOT come with an o-ring. Pick one up, they are like 5 bucks. and put grease on those locks when installing them it makes it 100x easier ;p

We have a camshaft install kit that includes the bolts and gaskets needed (including the crank bolt). It runs $43.99. Also that oil pump o-ring will be needed...as stated above they are about $5 and sold separate of the pumps.
