I replaced the cam shaft on my old '75 Volvo. I removed both manifolds (intake, exhaust), the head, timing gear cover, and the radiator. I pulled most of the lifters, or at least got them lodged sticking out of their hole from the top if they wouldn't come out, extracted the cam shaft from the front and then pushed the remaining lifters down into the oil pan (obviously make sure you get all of them completely out of there). Then reverse.

I also had the head resurfaced and the valves ground while it was out.

I have no idea if that helps, but it is nostalgic for me to remember. I couldn't believe it when it started right up.
