Get a water pump as well, best to change it whilst everything is off, plus sometimes the new tension in a cambelt can cause them to leak.

make sure the block and the head is clean first. use about p240 sand paper to clean it. and blow it out to make sure shes clean

What engine is it?

Make sure you get the right length cambelt and change the tensioner if it has one.
