Exhaust gasket leak; which parts do I need?

So I'm chewing up coolant and it looks to be an exhaust leak. I have a fiend who'll be doing the work and I just wanted to check on the parts that I'll be needing;

1) Exhaust manifold gasket set
2) Lower intake manifold gasket set

I am used to there being both upper and lower intake gaskets but there doesn't seem to be an upper available? Is it because of the Supercharger?

Are there any other parts I should grab for replacement?

Thanks guys.
 


Coolant elbows too. And buy extra oil for another oil change, it's a very good idea to change the oil after a 10-15 minutes of running the motor to get any coolant out, if any fell inside the engine during the LIM removal.

They make a supercharger gasket, it is called a upper intake gasket in some parts stores. Some parts store counter people are too stupid to figue it out. If you have a GEN 3 blower (97-03) it's like 10 bucks.
 
I have also found it called an upper plenum gasket.

Search on the Common Parts thread by me and you'll have the part numbers at your fingertips.
 
Thanks guys. :)

So

1) Elbows
2) Plenum/supercharger gasket
3) Lower intake manifold gasket set
4) Exhaust gasket

Anything else?
 
buy new vac lines and T's good chance they will brake when fiddled with during the lim job.

advance has the best t's i could find. small white t's. 2 for two bucks. vac line is a buck a foot.

makes sure your getting the metal lower intake gaskets too. some thread sealant for the lim bolts too.
