All LS engine oil pump pickup tube o-rings have been redone into ONE design, there is now one (red?) O-ring that works for all LS motors.

 

The front cover gasket and valve cover gaskets age very, very well in these motors and I've yet to see one that needed replacing, go ahead and get them but you will find that your originals are probably in like-new condition and reuseable and you can return the new ones for a refund. I have seen water pump gaskets f'd-up from a bad install (how you screw-up installing water pump gaskets I dunno, but it happened lol) but they should be reusable too unless the rubber has become hard/brittle. Replacing the front crank seal is always a good idea, remember to sand down the wear lip on the balancer if it is pronounced from lots of miles of use.
