Well, I don't know anything really - but what you need is an engine schematic.

I'd look for a chilton's manual. You should be able to find one at 
any decent car parts place.

Which manifold are you talking about? There's an exhaust manifold and 
in intake manifold.

Normally, what you'd need for an exhaust manifold are:

The right gasket for the head to manifold connection.
New manifold studs (the old ones often break or are seized)
New locking nuts.
New downpipe gasket.
New O2 sensor (if it's there - maybe not if it's in another spot on 
the exhaust).

You may need the goodies to drill out and re-tap some of the studs 
(some could break - all that heat is not good for metal)

There might be more parts that I'm missing, but that's what I can 
remember from other one's I've seen.

Note- I've never done a Toyota.
