Get valvesprings at the bare minimum. You will need to replace them if you plan to run more lift and they are just a good idea for better valve control.
A Double roller timing chain is a good idea (you'll be in there anyway!)...Titanium retainers are nice, but not totally necessary...hardened or chromemoly pushrods arent a must, they are only $110 or so... (7.400").
You dont need injectors.
You may need new gaskets too, esp. front crank seal...might as well...
www.SDPC2000.com has everything you will need. I use the Manley valvespring/ Titanium retainer package and the Double roller timing chain. Good stuff

Radiator
Front Swaybar
Water Pump
Crank Pulley
Timing Set
Oil Pump
Great time to do an underdrive pulley and a new oil pump.
Of course if you are increasing lift beyond or near the tolerances of your current springs, those should be upgraded. And if you have to take the valve covers off, replace those stock pushrods.
