If you use "the right stuff" you can forego the water pump gaskets
You'll probably tear the oil pan gasket as well. Most repair it with silicone by loosening up the corners of the pan. Some choose to lift the engine, pull the pan and replace the whole gasket.
You'll need valve seals too, which sometimes cone with your springs.

Like stated, get a tube or two of either copper or black RTV. I cut my oil pan gasket on one end to free it from the cover and used black RTV to seal everything back up. If you clean everything off real good and lay good beads of RTV, it won't leak.
