All the lifters out?
Not sure if this may sound dumb to you or not, however the cam doesn't slide out effortlessly. You have to fandangle it through the bearing journals while being as gentle as possible so you don't damage a bearing. If you don't have them already, get three 3" bolts that fasten onto the camshaft nose for leverage when you first start pulling the cam.
