If your getting Pacesetter you dont need gaskets or bolts.
You can go to thunderracing.com and get the OTVC wires.
Plugs you can get in town.

Thats all i did for my install.

You dont have to use the OTVC wires. I think they are a pain, because if you have to remove the valve covers, they get in the way.

I did not replace my motor mounts either. You should not have to, unless they are bad. But it would be easier to change them with the headers off, then with them on.

Yes if you plan on getting rid of the EGR, you will need the block off plate for the manifold.
