If the intake kit doesn't come with a TB gasket, I'd get one. Don't forget high temp RTV if the kit doesn't come with it. Replacing the injector o-rings would also be nice. (My Fel-pro intake kit came with both RTV and o-rings)

Timing cover gasket.
Timing cover seals. (crank/opti/waterpump)
2 waterpump gaskets.

If you brake the oil pan gasket while taking the timing cover off, you will need one of these as well.

I just did this on my car last week & Madwolf has it exactly right:

Intake Gaskets
Valve cover gaskets
Waterpump gaskets
Timing cover gasket & seals (crank/opti/ waterpump)
Oil pan gasket if you happen to tear it
I used "Great stuff" instead of RTV it worked much better

And be VERY carefull with the waterpump driveshaft seal it tears very easy!
I used a 1/2" socket and covered it in oil and slid the seal onto it & then used a bigger socket and a rubber mallet to put it into place and it worked great and it didn't tear...
