If you plan on a 370 or 408 build, ARP head bolts could be re-used. Ive done head swaps on my car with both GM replacement and ARP bolts and I can say that the ARP bolts are much easier to torque. They're also nice to have in the event something goes wrong with your install and the heads need to come off again.
Also add a decent torque wrench to your list, rtv sealant for the front cover and water pump gaskets, razor blades. You might also need a press or vice for the trunion upgrade.
Out of curiosity, what heads did you go with and chamber size?
