I am using the Atlantic British kit and have some notes (not done yet and so let's not get too far ahead...still need to get the engine running again!) but am using the whole kit; it is actually missing a couple items.
But... you have to pull the engine in order to access the AUX chain (the third chain at the bottom)...which is not entirely obvious up-front (I thought I could do it in the truck not realizing that you have to get underneath for those parts...I won't say anything about an engine design which needs one to pull the engine to drop the oil pan). That said, you have to drop the oil pan in order to do the AUX chain - meaning you will need the engine out (mine is a body-on, engine out but would be easier body off for those with a lift).
So if you are not doing the engine out and pan off, then you won't need those parts for the timing chain job. Otherwise, I think the AB Team does a good job putting together all these bits and pieces (there are a lot) and so far, so good. There is a huge amount of parts for the whole job...and now I even ran into something I didn't know about (oil restrictor plastic thing) which is causing a delay since I need to order that.
Hope that helps -
