What part do most people miss?

I am planning on a 355 swap this winter and I am accumulating a list of parts that I am going to need when I do the swap so i dont have to run to the store every 5 minutes. I did a search for this and really didnt know how to look so if no one minds I am posting this. I have an 89 305TPI 5 speed. I am going to take an 89 truck block bored .030 over and plopping on an LT1 intake. Now what are the parts that most people over look when swapping in a motor. I realize that there are going to be the things that just pop up like a ripped hose or broken sensor but what are the main things. Like motor oil, coolant, etc. Thanks everyone. I hope that this isnt too much of a pain in the **** post.

In the case of putting a LT1 intake on a Gen 1 motor... a distributor?
