Default 99 top end upgrade/rebuild list?

I got a 99 z28 and I got a valley gasket leak, so I wanna go ahead and replace all other gaskets,seals and sensors at same time...

Need help to make a list of everything I need and what stuff would be better to have off of 2002 model if differs...

Right now I got valley lifter gasket, intake manifold gasket, valve cover gaskets, I know I need to get vacuum hosing, oil pressure sender... What else do I need any upgrading I can do?

Side note I've already removed air pump and egr system...

You can get new knock sensors as well. Idk if you were planning to but now would be a good time to get an ls6 valley cover and eliminate your pcv system. Less oil consumption

Yes the ls6 valley cover will fit without an ls6 intake but you have to grind a tab on the inside of the valley. Idk of a real way to tell I they're going bad but since your in there might as well. change them

there is always a Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. Don't waste your money just buy some new hose and parts from your local parts store.
