Default Are the AFR#8002 springs to much for hydraulic roller lifter?

So i just got some new AFR 1040s that were ordered with the AFR-8002 springs and i have been told they might be to much for a hydraulic lifter unless i spend a grip and get something like Morel lifters. I dont really want to pull the springs and get others since everythin is setup and brand new now. These will be goin on a built 356 with a 224-230 .57s lift cam. The motor now has a smaller comp cam with im guessing comp cams lifters....anyone know if the lifters i have will work fine? If not what should i do...i have been told i maybe could run the LS7 lifters?

150 lb seat pressure is the most I'd use on a HR cam.

that spring is better suited to a street roller type application, or *maybe* an aggressive HR application on a BBC.
