The "valve job" gasket kit I used for my '89 didn't have a water pump gasket but it should surely be replaced. Maybe do the pump also if it's over 75K miles old. If your head is not too warped and can be resurfaced I would recommend also replaceing the rubber devices on the valve stems that quiet the valves. They're probably pretty dried out and flattened by now. Be sure to suck all the oil and coolant out of the bolt holes. The o-rings on the distributor shaft aren't too hard to replace and are alot cheaper than a new one.
