Question cam install gaskets

Can someone give me a run down of what gaskets im going to need to do my cam install? What I have so far:

Gaskets:
- 2 AIR tube gaskets
- 2 Water pump gaskets (From LS1howto)
- 1 front engine seal

Is that all I need?? Do I need one for the intake?

Thanks for the help guys.

Depends on what all you want to change . You will be removing the valve covers [2 gaskets] , front cover [1 gasket] , crankshaft pully bolt .

I'm curious as well as to what all I need. Thunders cam install package comes with valve cover gaskets as well as water pump/timing cover etc. Ive had the valve covers off before and I know that you can reuse the originals w/no problem. I wonder what else is necesary? I know you need a new pulley bolt.
