Question about cramming an engine (I searched first)

Hey everyone, I have an '83 berlinetta with a carbed 305 (I know, I know...) anyways, it has flat tapper hydro lifters (I'm still new to this stuff, by I'm learning I also bought a Haynes.) I have been wanting to cam my engine for a while, my question is, when I install the new cam, I know I have to install new lifters too, but what about the pushrods? Or the rockers? Are there any other components that absolutely must be replaced as well? As a side note I plan on putting a fresh timing chain in there while I'm at it.
Thanks in advance guys!
-Kenny

You can reuse them if you need to. Just try and keep them in the same spots as before.
