First of all it is going to be HOT in the Valley in August. Go to Tuolumne. It will be cooler and there are some moderate sport climbs there, unlike the valley. Check out East Cottage Dome.
The bare minimum for the Valley or Tuolumne would be a set of nuts and a set of cams. Double up on the cams for longer routes. Most of the quality trad routes start at 5.8 so be solid at that grade before you go.
Have you considered hiring a guide? YMS could give you a hell of a day climbing and you wouldn't even need to lug your gear out there.
