sanding down surfaces

I took off the supercharger to change the oil in the supercharger. When I went to put it back on, I noticed there wasn't a gasket where the supercharger meets the block. So, do I just sand down the surfaces and pray to God it doesn't leak or .....? Some asstance would be great.

It's not clear which gasket you are looking for. If you are referring to the supercharger outlet gasket (supercharger to the air horn that goes to the intercooler) that would be this one:
