First off, I'd recommend looking at livemedia-creator for any new iso
creation projects:

https://rhinstaller.github.io/lorax/livemedia-creator.html

It is part of the lorax package.

To answer your question, you don't need to add dependencies yourself.
That's the installer's job, so you just list the packages you want.

It is best to start out with an example working kickstart though, since
there are packages that a basic system needs to have. eg.
