Default Cam install

OK..
I have read that you can do a cam swap on an ls1 fairly easily, without removing the engine.
I have changed the cam once already but i had no part in it. I paid to have it done... BUT i am about to set a pair of heads on my car and would like to go with a different cam. I am going to do the work my self this time, but I don't want to have to pull the motor... Is there a write up or a how to... or even a list of things I need to remove to get to where I can remove the cam? I used the "search" but came up empty.
I have had people tell me to remove the entire front clip... but I don't want to have to do that either!

if you are changing the heads, when you remove the intake, careful with the oil pressure sending unit. . . . read about that 15 times before yanking and make sure you can get a spare/replacement one easily
