What gaskets are needed for a shortblock swap?

I bought a brand new shortblock from mazda a couple months ago. It came completely built with oil pan, flywheel, waterpump, cover all preinstalled.

I am going single and installing a full aftermarket fuel system.

I have "like new" condition UIM and exhaust manifold gaskets, so I will reuse those. I need to order a LIM gasket for sure.

I am doing a full emissions delete on the car and plan to just silicon the block off plates.

Can anybody think of what gaskets I will be needing? OMP, etc?
