You don't need to worry about timing if you're just replacing the Vanos.
You only have to worry about timing if you take the bolts out of the sprocket hub, which you'll obviously have to do if you're doing a cryo treated or TurboToy hub, or if you're replacing the chain tensioner.
The air adapter and switch box is only useful for extending and retracting the pistons with the Vanos loose.
Some say ... that you can move them in and out by removing the caps.
I think the only "special" thing you need for just Vanos R&R is long bolts for the top 2 holes so you can slide it back while still having it supported. M6x60.
