You'll need new head gaskets and new head bolts (unless they are MLS and ARPs)
Also check your intake gaskets (might need to replace those).

You can put them back on. replace bolts though or put back on if you have head studs. Now would be optimal time to mill!

Then your question should have been:

Do I have to clean my heads before reinstallation?

Just clean the block and head surfaces, no need to mill or machine anything unless you're looking to increase cr. Gaskets and bolts aren't too expensive, if they are the stock pieces replace them.
