You should buy the whole kit. All of that stuff needs to be replaced and it would be silly and expensive to do one at a time. Get it all out of the way while the front end is off.

After you do it the first time and add in a metal waterpump, you can just by a new belt a tensioner from now on or a thermostat if need be
