I was told that regular engine oil was sufficient for a cam swap and that assembly lube can actually cause problems with the lifters if you put it on the lobes. Something about the assembly lube allowing the roller on the lifter to slide over the cam lobe without spinning. I just did a swap and I put assembly lube on the journals (or whatever it is that spins in the bearings) and copious amounts of oil on the lobes, and have had no probs. Good luck with the swap.
