(on my vehicle the housing and slide tube are still intact and at the moment can be installed this way.)

Cam pulley bolts are stretch bolts, IIRC, but are commonly reused without issue.

Thermostat normally comes with housing. Thee are cheaper parts on Ebay but beware the housings can vary so the bolts might need to be shortened or replaced with longer and the seal is also different so make sure you get one with the housing.

You'll also need the 2 transfer pipe O rings.
