Default LS6 Heads (GM Kit)

i can get a sweet deal on the LS6 conversion kit from a friend who is a GM parts manager, but i have a few questions. first, i have a Comp Cams 224/224 .581/.581 112lsa cam with pushrods, patriot gold springs, LS2 timing chain, and oil pump waiting to be installed. i wasnt gonna do heads but then i got to thinking of the LS6 heads and thought that if i could get a good deal somewhere that i'd get them but i was wondering what extras i may need. this kit comes with all gaskets, heads, head bolts, LS6 cam(i wont be using), balancer bolt, front cover seal. is there anything extra i'm going to need to do the swap? i have the LS6 intake as well and a tuner for the job after its done.

you could probably get a better deal from texas-speed, also could you update your signature so we have some more information on your car.
