Default Need Help! 6.2L VVT-2 cam swap question!

I'm putting the TSP VVT2 cam in my Silverado 6.2L and I have this much so far...

I've searched far and wide and can't find the specific part #'s for the gaskets needed and the replacement bolts for cam and crank bolts...The truck only has 18,000 miles on it, so lifters are staying in so there is no need for head gaskets or head studs...I believe I need timing cover gasket, water pump gasket, and valve cover gaskets (or could I reuse these)...anything else I missed please feel free to chime in!! This is my first cam and springs job, so feel free to offer any advice whatsoever!! Opinions are welcomed as well!!

You can buy front timing cover gasket kit at oriellys for $40 that has all the gaskets needed.
Reuse your valve cover gaskets. Buy a gallon of coolant!

If it was mine I would reuse all the stock gaskets being it has no miles.

I may reuse the valve cover gaskets...I need the part numbers for the torque to yield bolts that should be replaced...the cam shaft bolt/valve and the crank bolt I believe. Also curious if I need the comp cams crankshaft socket?
