If you are doing this for teh first time. The Nut closest to the Throttle Positioning Switch is a bit tricky. I took a Cheapo Open End wrench and ground it down so it fits in there without disturbing the Switch.
I have also used the same gasket many times. I just recently bought a new gasket while I had in an order for a mess of other stuff.
These three Nuts are not muscled down tight. Not sure what the correct torque is but you can't get a torque wrench in that one area anyway. I'm guessing around 20 ftlbs
You may want to take off the Brass fittings and clean out the small holes that lay beneath the fitting. Loosen them before taking the Throttle body off the car. just easier then trying to hold it in your hand and loosen.
