What gaskets do I need for H/C install?

Just like the title says, I'm installing my heads and cam soon. What gaskets do I need? I just got off the phone with a few sponsors here, and am getting some different opinions. Do I need an intake gasket? Oil pump gasket? If I get a gasket kit, will I end up with a bunch of stuff I don't need? Also, what is the thickness of the 99-00 gaskets? Thanks!

heads,intake,headers,front cover, front seal, water pump,air/egr gaskets if you still have them on your car. and i would change the cam plate too, it has a seal on it and is not expensive. stock replacement bolts will be fine or arp bolts. oh and be careful when removing the intake if it still has the brake vac hose attached it can brake the oil press sensor
