I can weight in that there's no need to remove the cam to do the seals. I surfaced my plates and installed the paper gasket dry after cleaning all surfaces with brake parts cleaner. I would recommend using a coating of grease on the o-ring the same as you used on your case through-bolt o-rings. Although we're accustomed during these builds to dress most surfaces and gaskets, the paper gaskets seal quite well naked; they're not plain old paper and do bond with the surfaces when prepped correctly.
