the valves should be built into the pan you won't have to worry about them, the orings for the oil pump are at the lower case so you won't need those, just the two from the the lower case to the pan by the filter. rtv either the nissan orange or grey they are the same thing the orange just shows it has been reassembled. The windage tray may or may not be something you have to purchase.

Edit: forgot to mention that yes it is indeed going to suck to change out the engine needs to be lifted 4" off the subframe to get the pan out, best way to do it is to get an engine bay brace(or use the strut bar) to hang the engine and drop the subframe. That way you don't have to pull the trans or driveshaft and the whole bottom of the motor is open to work on. You can chain the motor from the engine mounts to the strut bar (use some cardboard to keep the cahins from F'ing up your bar) and then just unscrew the lower engine mount bolts at the subframe, do one chain on each side looped under the engine mount over the strutbar so you can get the pan off.
