V6 "insulating gaskets"?



I'm in the process of putting together a 2.5l V6.  Unfortunately, I'm not
the one who took it apart so I have no memory - vague as it might have been
- - about how things looked.  The PO started to do a valve job, got in way
over his head, and left the car sitting in a heated garage for 6+ years. I
got a compete car, partially disassembled engine, and several boxes of
parts.
 
Anyway, I'm about to install the intake rinners to the heads.  The manual
shows a stackup of gasket, insulating gasket, gasket.  Whatever was in there
seems to have been discarded.  The new gasket set I bought has 12 of the
right shaped gaskets, all identical, that appear to be some gasket material
bonded to a metal mesh.  That would be two per runner.  

Am I missing the "insulating gaskets"?  Do I just use the 2 gaskets I have
per runner?

Thanks.  I've been mostly lurking for a while but I'm sure I'll have plenty
of "how's this go?" questions as I get into this.
