carb, intake swap. forget anything?

I'm getting ready to change out my carb and intake (had an extra intake around and figured it would be easier to clean it up ahead of time) as well as rats nest removal and was just wanting to make sure I had everything I need.
so far I got everything off the shopping list on the rats nest removal tutorial as well as the gasket for the intake.
I'm trying to hunt down the intake water o-rings in town but no luck. my best bet so far has been with the dealer and that'll be about 5 days. any thoughts on using o-rings from an auto parts store? any other parts I forgot that I will need?
thanks.

its a stock, rebuilt carb. the fuel pump was the first thing I had to fix when I got the car so its good right now. know anything about the intake o-rings? think I'll be able to find some like sized ones around town, or do I need to order the mazda part?

You should be able to find like O rings at any hardware store. Just take an old one there with you and match 'em up.
