Default timing chain install?

Hey guys and girls. I just got in my extreme duty timing chain set and I have the engine in pieces waiting on it. I was wondering if any of you who have installed a timing chain before can help me out. I just need a quick over view of the basics on how to line it all up and get it right. The reason for the new chain is that I put a new cam in. Of course it has been about two weeks waiting on all the parts and I need a little refresher. I like to take things off and replace them right away to avoid these types of things but this job was too big to do that. Thanks in advance. BTW 96 LT1 auto

Hey Bogus, I don't think brave is the word I would use for this. I will let you guys come up with some other ones. This is really the only concern I have though. I just want to make sure I get the chain on right. I feel confident but it never hurts to hear what others say.
