Timing chain replacement help needed 99 4.6W 2V

I have a 99 F150 4.6W 2V and need to replace the chain set. Haven't found any exact videos for this exact truck, just generic videos for multi Ford vehicles. Looking for detailed repair steps or videos if anyone knows of one. Based on research, I plan on the following Rock Auto parts:
Cloyes timing chain set
Melling oil pump
Felpro timing cover gasket set
Timing cover seal
Cam holder tools

Should I change the oil pickup tube and screen? Any other parts or sealers needed?

Yes, I have this one saved for later, was hoping for an F150 specific but this one should be good enough

This repair is taking way longer than I thought. At the end of day 2 I just removed all the bolts from timing cover. Hopefully it pops off easily. Seems like every step has challenges, very little room to work. Very concerned about getting the valve covers back on. I recommend these rechargeable bright headlights from Amazon, they were very helpful.
