You'll have to change the springs, but I guess you already knew. If it's a high millage car then I'd suggest you change the lifters. Also roller rockers will be good to have. Keep in mind that if you get good parts now you can reuse them later when going LE2.

First, I am assuming that you have all the accompaning boltons (exhaust, CAI, etc.)New rocker arms are a must as well as springs and pushrods. Really for the time an effort to swap out the cam (especially such a mild one) you might want to think about going with a H/C setup. Lloyd Elliot has some packages that are damn bargains.

If you dont have boltons, get headers and a cai, a must for cams.
If you already have that than, as already said, springs and rr's are a must as well. The springs will be needed to deal with the extra lift and 1.6 ratio rockers will get much more out of the cam than the stock 1.5s will. Unless your car has a lot of miles on it (150k+) I'd stick with the rock lifters. Last winter I helped a friend rebuild the lt1 out of his caprice with 227k miles and it was hard to tell the difference between the lifters that came out of there and the new ones he bought. Those roller lifters will last a long time. New rods arent crucial, but if you have a lot of miles and a little extra cash I'd get some.
As for heads, that depends on what you want out of the car and how much your willing to spend. If you plan of doing it yourself, than you know its a lot more work than just a cam, if not than it'll cost you quite a bit in labor. I'm very happy with my cam only setup.

These guys have all made good points. I have the cc305 and wish I went bigger. But now it's like, how reasonable is it really to tear back into the motor? I thought it would be simple to swap cams at my own leisure but later down the road things come up and those plans get thrown to the side.
Positives about that 305 cam are it's drivability and being able to pass smog.
