newbie questions

I am fairly new to the GTP world, but no means am i new to mechanics. i just picked up a 2000 GTP and i am getting ready to put a Triple Edge Performance transmission in it cause the origonal one took a crap. while i have the engin out i plan on fixing a few leaks. i am going to put a new oil pan gasket in and my lower intake manifold is leaking as well. my question is this, do the intake gasket kits from the local parts stores include the SC gasket and everything needed to do the job? i also noticed the little plastic elbow was leaking coolant. so that will get fixed as well. where is the best place to get the gaskets and everthing to do the job right? thanks in advance.
 


get the coolant elbows from oreilys help section like $4 IIRC
and the supercharger gasket is cheaper at autuzone but its under a different name i cant recall if someone could help i know it under intake then something
if possible find a set of aluminum LIM Gaksets and dont forget to flush the oil at least a couple of times
 
Ok. Maybe ill just get the gaskets from zzp cause the parts store couldnt tell me if the lower gaskets were alumInum, they couldnt tell me if the kit cam with a sc gasket and the valve cover gaskets were $50 themselves. I can get the better gaskets cheaper from zzp
 


Ok. So if i buy an intake gasket set it should have the supercharger gasket cause its the same gasket at the plenum gasket on the naturally aspirated cars?
 
Well i looked on amazon like one of the guys suggested... The pics on amazon didnt show anything other than the LIM gaskets, i want to know im getting what i need. Not order something online and think im getting what i need only to find out i am short a gasket or two when i go to do the job. I dont like having to run back and forth to the parts store.. Makes for slow repairs and wasted fuel.
