The smaller seals are like O-rings... They go in the same tube, only down a ways. You have to remove the camshaft bearing caps to get those, it's a pretty good job since you remove the rockers & stuff. You also have to be very careful with tightening torques.
My advice... Hang onto those. Put everything else on, then check for oil leakage after a little while. Most likely it's the big seals at the valve cover, but if it still leaks then you'll have to do the lower ones. As long as you don't wait too long, the VC gasket will still be nice & soft so you can re-use it.
