Standard <link> and <script> tags will be fine. You probably want them in
your layout.html, though you do not need to use web2py_ajax.html. If you
want to use the response.files approach but don't want to use
web2py_ajax.html or edit it, you can put the following in the head of your
layout.html where you want the files included:
{{response.include_files()}}
which is what web2py_ajax.html does.

web2py.css has some styling for form errors and flash messages, though you
can easily create your own. It also includes a good bit of CSS for
SQLFORM.grid. web2py.js handles (1) displaying flash messages, (2) sliding
down form errors, (3) validating numeric input field entries, (4) date/time
picker for date and time fields, (5) confirmation dialog when deleting
record, and (6) Ajax and components. You might want to consider keeping it
(I don't think it will present any conflicts).
