Current chest exercises
Lots of pushups - Millitary, standard, wide, decline
Chest press - incline and flat. Bench will not do decline
Flys on the bench

I have been doing pull-ups too. Is there any chest development in that? Seems like mostly shoulders, Bis, back.

A good chest exercise that I've been doing is a power fly. Use more weight than you would use for a normal fly. When you go down don't go as wide as you would for a fly then come up like a press. Make sure to squeeze at the top and get a good stretch at the bottom.

As far as pull-ups for chest development, I would argue that it does help. What Tom said is how I feel it helps as well. It will make your chest appear fuller and bigger. Plus a stronger back will help in chest pressing exercises.
