You can reuse the old ones if they are not damaged. If I could do it all over again, I would have not reused the old ones and went with new factory gaskets or Fel-Pros. My .02.

The stock ones will work just fine, as long as they are in good condition. Pacesetters come with gaskets but they aren't very good and some people have had bad results with them.

Go with new GM gaskets...they're pretty cheap and good insurance.
