Timing Chain Tensioners

Good morning all,
I am going to be swapping my tensioners out, (hopefully today) and had a couple questions I couldn't find a clear answer to in the previous threads/DIYs.

1. How much oil should I expect to loose during the swap? Is it best to drain the oil prior to pulling them? Of course I just changed my oil last weekend. Haha.

2. This is where I sound dumb(er). Most directions state to lock the crank at TDC, then lock the cams. But isn't there a TDC for both sides? Does it matter which TDC i'm at for the tensioner swap?

Thanks guys!
