About to do head gaskets on my 96, and i have a few questions concerning the cam gears, do they need to be removed, or just marked? whats the procedure there? any help at all on this is greatly appreciated

If I remember correctly, there are timing marks for the gears on the heads.

No you don't have to remove the gears. Get a Haynes book. Tells you all about the cam timing when putting everything back together
