for the TT kit, there should be 2 pins per caliper to hold the pad, a spring type holder to keep tension on the pads, and another clip to hold the pins in the caliper, keeping them from sliding out.

The parts labeled "anti-squeal shim" (on either side of the pads) are included in the shim kit with a tube of grease. The parts labeled "anti-rattle spring" and "pad spacers" are in the fitting kit. The parts labeled "pin" and "clip" are included with new calipers and/or should be included with the sale of used (or blank) calipers.
