Default Getting Ready to do the swap, INFO Needed.

Hi, so as some of you already know, my Audi is sitting in the garage not running. It has a bad motor, and I have already bought a running 12V V6 and am getting ready to take it in to the mechanic to get everything done. I am buying parts that I think I should go ahead and replace while I have the engine out. What else should I buy other than timing belt and water pump? Should I do head gaskets too?

All gaskets/seals. The 2.8 (12v or 30v) tend to be big oil leakers over time, if you have the engine out, do it right.
