Valve covers are recommended when doing an intake repair because they're usually not to far behind. Also the intake bolts need to be replaced being that they're a large part of the leaking problem.

Interesting info Josh. I replaced my snout bearings and seals at around 80K miles. What is helpful for long SC life is to change out the supercharger oil more frequently. I do all of my L67s once a year. I found the dealers only check the oil level and add oil when you take it in for service at 30K intervals.
I would say that is one major reason for premature SC failure.
