With these settings @ DEVICE INTRC_OSC, LVP_OFF, WDT_OFF, MCLR_OFF you won't need much more than power. Assuming these config word settings are actually being programmed into the PIC as expected.
MCLR_OFF just disables the reset function on the /MCLR pin allowing it to be used for an input VS external reset.
You might also want to include the decoupling cap as shown in your PBP manual between Vcc and ground. Locate this cap as close to the PIC power pins as possible. Without it you can sometimes waste a ton of time chasing problems. Especially on "A" version PICs. These are more succeptible to noise than older non "A" revs.
As for clockout VS no clockout, that really depends on you. All this does is output the clock/4 on OSC2. If you want the OSC2 pin for I/O, then obviously you're better off with no clockout.
If you're curious about what these osc config options are, just look in your data sheet at the Special Features of the CPU section under CONFIGURATION WORD.
