Default Can i use stock seats, locks, retainers with ls6 springs?

Im getting an ls6 cam kit and i wAs wondering if i could use my stock seats and stuff with the ls6 springs? It would save me not having to change my valve seals if i could use the stock seats is why i ask. Also my other question is how long are pushrods from an ls6 engine comPared to ls1 pr's

you can use the stock seats,the pushrods are the same too,the ls6 cam has a smaller base circle,and gm made up for it with slightly longer valves in the ls6 heads

Thanks for the info^. How about the locks and retainers? I will likely just use the ones that come with the kit but i would like to know if the stock will work with them in case i was to drop a few locks or something....
