You need to get the valves out first, then remove the stuck lifters. Cut the valves inside the valley and pry the tops out. Then remove the spring/keeper rubble. You may need to soak the lifters in some trannyfluid/acetone mix to loosen them up if they are rusty. Might also need to make a tool to pound them out from below, maybe something that fits around the cam. Or maybe they are adjustables you can get ahold of the adjuster and pry upward on? But all this sounds easier than cutting the cam apart, and then still having to remove the stuck valves and lifters.
