I was gonna ask the same thing, so I'll jsut jump on this thread.
Alos, I have heard before that ARP does not make a set for our SC's but that you have to use a set for a different car and they'll work. I am assuming the one linked above are the right ones, and that I should order the set that is for "95 and prior shortblocks"? Thanks. Steve

Do I need new head bolts?

I'm changing my H gaskets as we speak and I'm wondering if I really need new head bolts. Is it really nescessary?

You have to replace the head bolts. They are single use only, they stretch during the torque down procedure.
