Between your write up and Kapt's write up, plus the Beisan info, there really is no guesswork to it.

This seems like a good opportunity to swap cams if one was looking to install hotter cams, no? It doesn't seem like there would be much more to do since with this vanos job you are pulling cam gears as well. Any thoughts on this?
I'm not sure what extra needs to come off to get the cams out (timing chain, sprockets, rockers? Don't know what else), but you're certainly in the neighborhood. Timing is actually really easy to set with the bridge, so it might not be difficult if the head doesn't have to come off
