Default CFI I need help

I am replacing the IAC's on my 84 and noticed the replacment ac/delco IAC's didn't come with replacement gaskets, but the fsm says to replace the gasket with a new one supplied with the new motors. The Corvette supply I got them froom never called me back to tell me if I needed to use them. I assume I do need them. Can I reuse the old gaskets?

Re-use the old gaskets, or cut some new ones from sheet gasket.

I bought a new one(NAPA) a while back and it didn't come with a gasket either. I had to do some paper cutting as you said.

I just installed the new motors and luckaly the old gaskets were stuck to the throttle bodies (phew). Car runs great after blowing all the carbon out of it!
