Changing a camshaft without replacing the bearings?

Can I change the camshaft in my small block chevy 350 without changing the cam bearings? The motor is appears fairly fresh.
The motor is still in the car and I didn't plan on taking it out yet...
Can you change the bearings while it is still in the car??

I know that there is no way to plasti-gauge the bearings, but do you really want to take that chance? Removal of the old bearings and installing the new ones will take about an hour with the correct tool. Isn't that time well spent to protect your investment? I have put a cam in with out replacing the bearings, but I was selling the car and was trying to cut costs, my bad. It's your decision.

I'm hot and cold over this car. I've owned my A4 1.8 FWD since Feb, 1999, and it now has 154,000 miles showing on the odometer.
