Reusing timing set?

I am in the middle of doing heads/cam on my L98. I bought a new Cloyes timing set, but a curious if I can replace just the chain and reuse my sprockets? The crank gears seems like a pita if it's all the same...

Ditto. The crank sprocket is the highest wear item, next is the chain, next is the cam sprocket.
