u don't need speedo gear for an 02. just speedcal or chip. u prob. don't need an install kit either, i didn't on my 01; but depends alot on installer too i guess. i've never seen 3.90s in action, but i love my 4.10s. no matter which one u get, u will not believe the difference it makes.

you don't need, but you may want some control arms and sticky tires to help you use those new gears to their full potential.

since your car is still relatively new, the seals and gaskets could be reused but he probably had some extra shims (if he needed them, sometimes it lines up) and a crush sleeve laying around, thats probably why he didn't use the install kit.
