gaskets for cam swap?

Yeah guys I'm looking at putting a CC305 cam in my formula and was wondering other than the normal waterpump,valve cover, intake, and timming chain cover gaskets is there any other gaskets I'm going to need? I'm going to loosen the oil pan and re tighten it down . Been doing this on 1st gens for years and never had a problem with doing it.

make sure the front cover set has the shaft seals with it. do the front main while your at it. so long as the pan gasket is not hardened then you should be ok to reuse. dont forget to rvt the corners were the front cover meets the pan. the water pump seal can be a pain if u dont have a install tool. the seal is a double lipped one and if you dont use the install tool the inner seal/lip can invert and tear or undermine the outer lip. its a plastic cap that goes over the end of the drive shaft, looks like a really short marker cap and if you have a marker the right size you can make one by trimming it to fit.

I've always used the WP coupler to slide the seal over without any problems
