The rear cam cover, yes, but the cylinder head doesn't need to be removed. You said "top end", that usually means heads.

You will need a 12 point spline socket for the lower cam chain tensioner blade for the front cylinder. You can't use a normal socket. They're cheap enough on eBay.

Yes, you need to remove the front cct, because you will need to undo the lower tensioner blade bolt to get enough room to wiggle the transfer gears in place.

The stub axle in the centre of the transfer gears slides out using a magnet, by the way.

To do the CCTs correctly then yes air box off so you can get to the front head.

These will be in the post along with the stand.

This is the pin that holds the gears in, it's loose fit & come out fairly easy, Tony says use a magnet, I used a small pair of bent nosed pliers to hold & pull out. The gasket needed scraping away to get it out...

You have a new PM as well.
