First off grab the pages out of the shop manual and read them over and over. You can't put the cams in wrong its about impossible. You'll see when you get the valve covers off.

If you plan on trying to change valve springs and retainers in the car you might as well pull the engine IMO.

If it were me, just change the cams and don't worry about the retainers. Because a small percentage of people had issues with faulty retainers doesn't mean they are all bad. Just don't rev it like an idiot.
