Which is the Intake Cam?

I know this is a stupid question but Which cam is the Intake Cam? I read the write up and it says that the one with the Angle Position Sensor is the Exhaust cam. Is that right? The reason I ask is because I plan on installing just the Intake cam this weekend.

Someone said that I can just remove the cam I need replaced and bleed the lifter on that side only should be fine. Am I better off removing both cams? I know it takes more time though. If this is true, can I just remove one cam gear instead of both?

Thanks for helping!

the intake cam is the one closest to the intake manifold. (the one closest to the firewall)

BTW do you know how to set the timing to TDC?

Thanks guys. I really appreciate for your inputs. Oh, this will be the second time I install cams and bleed them lifters I think there's one question that wasn't answered. That is, should I remove the cam gear off from both cams? Or should I just remove the cam gear off from the intake cam and work from there?

I have to admit that I just want to be cautious. I mean, it makes sense. Intake is toward the Intake Mani and the Exhaust is near the Exhaust Mani Oh, MarkyMark, I do have that writeup in front of me. Read it a couple of times.
