Hi everyone I bought a pair of vortecs

I’m pretty sure the springs on these heads are for a roller cam which I don’t have. I have a set of Z28 springs made by a company called engine tech, got them for 60 bucks on eBay. I am curious if I’d need any more hardware to use these springs on Vortec heads and whether I should use the secondary internal spring with the z28 springs to run a flat tappet?
I’ve also heard about a lack of coolant holes in the Vortec heads, or they flow coolant differently. My L05 engine has the third hole drilled at the water pump, does this mean I’m good to just drop the heads on and go?
I’ve already got a duel plane intake with a tbi carb adapter, will order the head bolts and gaskets and spark plugs soon so I’ll probably be doing this in a couple weeks, is there anything else I need to buy or know about a Vortec swap on an 88 TBI L05 350 engine thanks!
