You can do it with the engine in the car. Just remove the front components and get that radiator out of the way!!! Just remove the accessories out of the way. You have saved yourself a headache by removing the AC and will not have to fuss with a coil or compressor. Remove the top end and lifters and then the cam retention plate, pull the old cam....Be gentle...Lube up the new unit and again gentle slide it in while taking notice not to "bash" the journals and lobes. you should be able to do all of the reverse and keep the engine in the car. Just be very sure to degree the cam correctly if you have a multi-keyed timing gear/chain setup. I recommend the Ford dual timing chaing...It has multiple keyways.
