yes, install the cam before the heads. That way you don't have to worry about a lifter falling

I would just leave the oil in till you get it all togethor and then change it before you start it. I imagine you have antifreeze in the oil from removing the heads. I did on mine

safe as safe can be. More like why would it not be safe? You could put the cam in and come back 6 months later and it would still be safe. Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about. Just make sure you have the head bolt holes CLEAN
