Default reusing gaskets

I bought a 2006 L33 that I do not want to rebuild but just want to leaveit as is when I put it in my 1969 Nova. I have taken the off oil pan, intake, valve covers, front cover, and valley cover to have a look inside. I have heard that some of the gaskets are reusable. Which ones will I need to replace and which ones can I reuse?

I've always reused those gaskets you've mentioned. Just make sure they look good & are completely clean. I usually stick just a tiny little bit of RTV at the corners of the timing cover & rear cover gasket where they meet the pan.
