That's right, two blockoff plates. Have extra bolts/studs/nuts on hand in case any get destroyed during disassembly. One of the nuts on the exhaust manifold flange is difficult access. Be careful with the inhex screws going into the intake manifold as the aluminum threads are easy to strip.
Last I checked those diamond-shaped gaskets were widely available on ebay for VWs.
Otherwise you can make your own gasket out of bulk exhaust manifold gasket sheet from your FLAPS.
