Depends on the manifold, but if its a 6 bolt then a gasket is handy to replace; and if the C-clip version, a new O ring seal. Neither are essential, although they are good workshop practice to fit too. The other joins are U clamps, I don't know about yours but on all the Mk1 Golfs I've seen, they tend to be in reasonable condition and can be re-used.
