If I recall correctly, the kit's don't include the paste since it has a very short shelf life, it's prepared and delivered just in time as needed, and when a shop technician anticipates immediate need includes that item in the order requisition, since you'll be shelving the module for now, all you need to do is secure the paste if/when the need arises.The 2-component thermal paste itself is missing in the kit, but it's readily available.
