Exclamation replacing an oil pump

Hi
What do I need to buy when I replace my oil pump?
I found a nice oil pump, and I know that I need to buy some gaskets but which one and what other parts that I will need to buy to get this job done?

Cheers

Front cover gasket, water pump gasket. Would recommend changing front cover seal as well. Depending on milage of the car you might want to replace the timing chain while you are in there. You will need a new crank bolt as well. All I can think of at the moment. FYI-Ls1howto.com has a good write up on changing a cam, but it shows you how to change the oil pump as well.
