Definitely seen worse. The bushes on the sway bar link arms are doomed to fail due to the design, by putting the fixed end on the strut body rather than the lower control arm the angle on the link arm changes, if you have anything more than a small amount of steering lock on and hit a decent bump or pothole the bush is hit on an angle. more modern cars use sway bar links with ball joints to eliminate this original design flaw.
Re: Lifters. In an ideal world, new cam, new lifters. On a flat tappet cam (unless you know how to check/prep lifters) this is a must as the lifters do bed into the cam lobe. On our V6 motors we have roller lifters so the rules change a little. New cam/new lifters is still ideal but if the current lifters are in good nic than re-using the lifters on a another cam isn't going to hurt anything.
