I will talk to my shipping guy to see what happened to the install guidelines. I can have them faxed to you tomorrow or you can save a tree (if your into that) and look on my website under zach's blog. There are install guidelines on there.
As far as what lube is best. When I build engines I use lubriplate 105 mixed with lucas or stp oil additive to coat the cam. It works great to stick to the cam until you get oil pressure. I don't like to use oil additive like lucas or STP on new engines though. STP does add more surface tension to the oil partly due to a little bit of zinc, but the main way it adds surface tension is through making the oil more viscous(thicker) just like Lucas. On a new engine this is not good when you are trying to seat the rings correctly. The zinc additive we sell is good because it does not make the oil super thick or more viscous, it works due to the high pressure properties of zinc and phosphorous in keeping the parts from shearing through the oil film not just providing a super thick cushion.
I have heard some good things about lucas break in additive. I would steer clear of the royal purple break in oil. Just use the oil that you always run with a good zinc additive. We sell the additive for 12.99. This with the normal oil you run would probably be a lot cheaper than royal purple break in oil. And if you are spending the extra money for royal purple go ahead and get a better zinc additive than STP. If you want some boring reading to go to sleep to look up the thread on our zinc additive under the hamilton cam section of vendor row. It has a ppm comparison on a lot of the leading zinc additives vs. ours. Goodluck with the install!
