Default Cam Swap Guide Needed

Been searching with no success for a C6 cam swap write up. I've done probably a dozen LS swaps in cars and truck but never in a Vette. I am mainly just interested in the rack, jacking the motor up or lowering the craddle etc. to get the crank pulley off. I am pretty solid with the rest of the swap. Can anyone point me in the right direction or show me a good link/sticky regarding the rack please?

Thanks

unbolt the rack and the 2 lines going to it and slide it out the passenger side. I didn't remove it, just moved it enough to work.

I just did mine like 2 weeks ago. Not too bad and don't forget to undo the tie rod ends as well. We disconnected the a/c lines so we could just remove the radiator, panel and fan as an assembly. No need to remove the shroud though. You have to undo the abs bracket as well and just move aside in order to remove the rack. Its not hard at all just time consuming and another set of hands will make it go faster. With what I know now I could possibly do it in about 8-10 hrs.
