Timing chain question

My first question is do you need to replace the top chain guide? I ordered a kit and the guide that sits on-top between the 2 cams isnt in the kit. Dont wanna get it torn down and not have all the parts i need. Also, is it necessary to take the oilpans off if i can blow them out with compressed air? assuming the only reason that you take them off is because water from the water pump might leak in there. I am doing this on Sat so i wanna make sure i got everything together. thanks

I've not done this work, but I don't recall that this part was a component in the process. There have been a lot of good posts on this work by very knowledgable members on this forum, so you may want to look around. I quickly found these:

Good luck with your project.
