Couldn't think of any 'parts' you'd need for the install since most clutch kits come with new pilot bushing and throwout bearing.
Helps to rent a 'blind hole puller' tool from Autozone to get the old pilot bearing out. Also you'll want red locktite for the 6 pressure plate bolts and a good torque wrench. Don't torque the pressure plate bolts past 30ish foot-pounds because the pressure plate itself is aluminum and it will crack/distort if overtightened.
Oh and don't forget to have your flywheel resurfaced, too.

No, you dont unless there are problems with the old one. Leaking / broken / bent rod, etc.
You will need the proper tool to remove the pilot bearing if you plan on using the one that should be supplied in a full kit. (Such as the competition clutch kits mentioned above, they include a new PP, disk, TOB, and Input bushing).
You will also need a new flywheel (60ish bucks at oreilys), or need to have your old one resurfaced in order for most clutch warranties to be valid.
LIGHTLY grease the splines of the input shaft, and I mean lightly.
Use a GOOD brake cleaner ( one that evaporates completely and quickly without leaving residue) and liberally clean the flywheel and pressure plate mounting surfaces.
DO NOT get fingerprints, greasy or otherwise on ANY of the mating surfaces of the clutch assembly.
Follow that and you should have a happy and trouble-free new clutch.
