Use the internet, search for info at Comp Cams, Trick Flow or buy yourself a Repair manual / or a book including this.

just take off the timing chain cover leave pump intact if possible, timing gears and chains, you will have to take of the crank pullie ,dampner, and the front cover any special tools? Yea a balancer puller.
get some engine grease too. dont know if you knew this but you gotta smear it all over the journals and lobes of the cam before you slide it in. also it helps if you got at least one of the bolts that holds on the gear on the end of the cam so you can slide it in straighter so your not hitting the cam lobes on the bearings or anything.

93Stang - the way you're asking questions leads me to think you might be in a bit over your head here. I'd suggest you get a buddy that's done this before to help you through the first one.
