After posting this thread and all the advise I got you guys I decided to
jack it up and start to work. First of all, I checked the cam box for the oil leak, I think it is gone. I could not find any oil on my finger. I guess it sealed itself, and it was the old oil burning off.
I got the oil cooler off, kinda of a pain in the butt. Next I will change the motor mounts and find a belt for the A/C delete.

Thanks again for your input. It got me motivated to get this car done.

WOH!!!! if your car has been sitting for 5 years, and you just replaced the cam cover seal, you should not be leaking anything. my car sat for one year until i replaced the engine. when i got the car running it was smoking like a mother out of the engine bay (coming from the header area). i took a very close look at it and realized it was just the headers burning off all the dirt/spiderwebs/contaminates that had been building up on it. when i figured that out, i let the car run for about 20 minutes with the hood up, and then all the burn-off was done. haven't seen and smoke sense. as long as you are not seeing any oil spilling from the head, let the car run a few until it stops smoking, or until you can visually see that it is oil leaking and burning.

Kevin I believe your are right on with the oil burn off. However, I swear that
the box was leaking after I replaced the gasket.
It appears to have stopped, I guess. I can't restart to let it burn off because I am replaceing the motor mounts and the oil cooler.
Hopefully tommorrow I will have this stuff done and I can find out.
