valve stem seals!

so i'm gonna replace my valve seals on my redtop SR. it smokes ONLY at idle after its been driven a little. so couple questions. head is staying on the car. cams HAVE to come out correct? no way around that? just trying to avoid re timing the motor if i can. taking off the timing chain scares me a bit lol. i haven't pulled off the valve cover yet and looked at it, but where are the seals exactly? i know the keepers and retainer is up top with the spring below, but where are the seals? do i need a special tool to get them out? i've got the spring retainer tool and the tool to pressurize the cylinder. other than like, a magnetic wand or something, anything else i need? do i have to take anything else off to get to these other than valve cover and cams? seems like a pretty simple/straight forward job. thanks in advance.
