That is a very brave thing to do.
I watched V6 CDX doing mine last week and was a massive job.
Good Luck brave person :y :y

A new auxillary/fan belt would be a good idea while you have the old one off, they're a PITA to change, especially at the road side.
-
aggre with all the above. also give it a service while doing the belts.
two birds one stone :y

Don't forget a steady supply of hot beverages & paracetamol to help with the stress headache :D ;)

by cam locks, you mean the kit incl timing guage, don't you..
Also 30mm offset ring spanner.
and of course torx bits and torque wrench.

Yes, the timing gauge is important; don't rely on the cutouts on the rear cover. The full kit is: Locking tool for cams 1 and 2, locking tool for cams 3 and 4, crank lock, belt wedge, timing gauge.
If you go to Halfords for a set of E sockets, you'll have to get the E20 separately, which you will need to turn the crank.
Get the 'how to' DVD (£3) and watch it a few times before you do the job. I made notes (such as that there is a notch in the crank pulley; it will only fix one way) while watching it too.
