Also, rather than unplugging the DME (which I think is a pain in the butt, plus I don't like the risk of connector damage), do you think unplugging the DME relay would be sufficient?

I should have been more accurate=DME relay, sorry. Yes pull, you should be able to see (oil pressure guage) pressure building then replace.
No oil down plugs.
The cam tower has 6 plugs on top to get at the cam tower bolts. I think 10mm allen will work. Put in 4oz. oil.
Remove the oil filter and put 1 cup of oil in the big hole in the center.
Car flat or oil pickup will suck air in crankcase.
Are you using a synthetic? I would use regular oil like Castrol 20-50 GTX for the first start and then you can change to a synthetic. With your new gaskets there should be NO leaks.
I am sure you will succeed. When you do, the lifters will chatter for 3 to 5 minutes until they refill. This is OK. The oil you put in the cam will help lube the lifters and camshaft until all is good.
