First time engine swap

Im swapping a carb 305 to an L98 350 in my 86 camaro. I have a vortec intake manifold and vortec heads, will I need anything else to use the vortec heads? Also, I'm looking for a gasket seat but Im not sure what to order, I would appreciate any links to something that will work for me. Do vortec heads use different gaskets then the stock 305/350 heads? Everything else should be the same right? water pump and brackets, etc. The heads are 906 vortecs

You will need vortec specific intake gaskets and intake bolts everything things else will bolt right up.
