Shouldn't need pliers, they should come right out..if not, try a magnet to pull them, last resort should be the pliers. You could always sell them cheap on ebay if they are still worth anything..

Since you are going to have it all apart anyways, you should just throw a LE1 package in there.

Comp Cam's new XFI cams are pretty good I heard. IMO a custom grind is always the best route to go IMO.

TPiS, Comp, and many others have some good cams, if you want mild, then don't go above .500 lift. Once you go that high you need either a really nice set of heads to make use of it or some type of forced induction to make up for it.

I think that CC 210/220 would be a little TOO mild. If you went with something that small, I think you would be very disapointed. It is probably not to far from stock. At the very least to even make it worth it I would go with a Hotcam kit or like Caleb said the CC305. You could make more power than that cam is going to give you for alot less money.
