none. maybe water pump and valve cover gaskets "just in case". I wouldn't buy any.

You need a new crank bolt too.....

Yes you should replace the bolt. I didn't replace my chain, and feel comfortable that it is fine.

You'll need the crank bolt. Also...you'll need the water pump gasket if you have a '98. I think the '99+ water pump gaskets are re-usable. If you have a '98, get a '99+ gasket to replace it with.
