everyting you've listed is required, saying that, wrecker prices depend on where you go, the cheaper prices are most liekly those from a self serve wrecker where you get all the bits you need yourself, ends up cheaper but more work.
deffinately need the parts the wreckers are including. also worth lookin at getting the heater pipes from the MPFI car too.

For that kind of money you're probably better off buying a whole MPFI EA to raid for parts.
Most wreckers will tear you a new one if you don't know what things are worth. Eg, a whole EA from the auctions is worth around $100. |

+1 for buying a donor car, then you can sell the rest of it when you get all the parts you need.
