The heads of course, head gaskets(GM, felpro, the Impy's, its your coice), 4 crush washers(pn GM-10108689) for the coolant crossover tube, thread sealer, lots of rags, some coolant, and a razor to scrape the old gasket off. I changed out my head bolts when I had my heads off so that might not be a bad idea either but its not necasary.

They need to be replaced for the coolant cross-over pipe.
