Probably don't need a headgasket unless you just really want to. Make sure to get a complete timing component kit with pulleys, belt, etc. Also thermostat, all filters, plug wires, dizzy cap and rotor.

Cool so all my seals shud be good and gravy then basically run a tune up on it

Some people like to replace front and rear crank seals and cam seals when they do the timing belt, its a little more work but its cheap. Basically replace anything that is going to be a lot more difficult to replace once its in the car. Oh ya another big one is the o-ring for the water crossover pipe on the back of the block, its also cheap.
