the first link + just the pan gasket...may be cheaper than the 2nd link as you won't need some of the gaskets/seals in the 2nd link

get the Fel Pro "printo" seal intake gaskets. (has blue sealer around ports)

I use Permatex Black "ultra" RTV

to remove the timing cover you need to, at least, drop the front of the pan about 1". Pan gaskets are re-useable if they don't tear and you clean all old RTV off of them, and re-apply the RTV on install. Or install a new pan gasket

regular fel Pro intake gaskets are "OK", I just prefer the Printo seal ones

IIRC the hub bolt is a TTY so re-using them is not advises, although some do. They are cheap enough to buy. ARP makes them and theirs are not TTY and are re-useable

Also the WP drive seal is tricky to install without folding over the inner lip so some form of "tool" is strongly advised to use on install. You can buy them on ebay or make one from a Sharpie pen body. Several threads on that
