Always replace the sprockets with the chain. One, you are already in there and will have them off so why not. Two, the sprockets wear into a patern with the old chain so a new chain will not ride correctly on the old sprockets. I don't know if I have ever seen a parts store sell the chain without the sprockets. Good luck and if you have a 4.3 don't get too frustrated with the oil pan.
