Default What else to change w/ valvespring swap?

I'll be putting in new 918's in a few weeks. I was considering installing Yella Terra rockers and doing the LS6 PVC conversion at the same time. I'm not sure if the Yella rockers are available for '98 heads...?

My cam specs are 218/226 527/535 112, and the 5.7L heads are milled .030. Assuming they're available for '98's, would my PVC still be OK with the Yella Terra's?

Anything else I should consider while I'm in there?

I would definately change the valve stem seals also.After doing so my car went from using 4 qts.every 3000 miles to only 1 qt.That was the only change and a very big one in my book.They are cheap and you have to have the valve springs off to change them so why not do it while the are there.They are leteraly $15 from thunder.I will never have my springs off and not change them.
