Your procedure is basically correct. I like to remind everyone that there are two TDC positions, each one representing a position for one cylinder head to not be compressing valve springs.
To get the cam plugs I use a sharpened hook to pierce the middle and pull them out, which I'm pretty sure is the exact technique shown in the Pelican Tech article. You need to examine the off center notch in the end of the bottom cam shaft and align it with the machined edge of the cylinder head to see which of the two TDC positions you are locked at.
JFP is correct, to not lock down everything you can is asking for trouble. You've pulled the plugs anyway, it's not a lot of work.
The newer style are supposed to be much better at reducing chain rattle at engine start. That list of three is the entire set. You need one of each if you're doing them all.
I'm curious, how are you going to adjust them to the correct tension? I'm up against this job pretty soon and just want to know what others are doing to set them up.
