Default Cam questions (not the usual)

Deciding what cam to get is confusing enough but I have a few other questions. I'm at 111,000 miles with never a mechanical problem. Loads of track days and 1/4 mile passes. My radiator needs to be replaced so I figure time to do a cam swap. I have a 2008 LS3 with BB long tubes and a Vararam. Questions:

Due to the high mileage, what else should I do/replace? Engine will be pulled so nows the time to do it

I believe the 2008 LS3 cam is a single bolt. Should I convert to a three bolt? This is confusing

Any other words of wisdom?

Water pump, oil pump, hoses, maybe DoD delete if yours is equipped is what I got to share. First three for sure.

Go with the 3 bolt for sure. No DOD.
