It has been quite a while since I deployed things into the GAC. Rick's advice is technically sound, but please check the following thread for some conceptual considerations for when GAC deployment is appropriate:

You will need to create two separate components. On the File Element of the component you wish to install in the GAC you will need to add the Assembly attribute and set it to ".net"
