Gasket replacement

I have a 99 GTP that I bought a month ago. After seeing and smelling oil on the engine and researching on the forum, I decided I want to replace the intake manifold gasket (still black), oil pan gasket and valve cover gaskets. They all seem to be suspect on these engines. My car has 110000 miles and I bought from the original owner who I have known for a long time. I know the car has been babied but none of these gaskets have been done. I am finding conflicting part numbers for some of the gaskets. Can someone share the numbers for the parts I need, preferably from one place? I have a friend who is ASE certified and has his own shop. I am going to help him and he's not charging me. I just want to make sure I have the right parts. Thanks in advance!
 


go to rock auto, enter your car, search for the lim gaskets, i got the ac delco metal ones for 43 bucks.

the sc gasket is called a upper plenum gasket, (get a felpro) they only run 12 bucks. id pick up a set of valve cover gaskets, get felpro as well.

the oil pan is a pita, de grease the whole engine top to bottom, then do your lim and v/c gaskets, watch the pan for leaks after your done. no sense in doing the oil pan if you dont have to.
 
Don't forget to replace the valve cover bolt grommets if they don't come with the VC gaskets or the covers will leak again.
