Yep, as stated they are in fact TTY bolts. Some people have re-used them but it's not suggested. You also have 2 options with ARP, studs or bolts. If you dont wanna mess with the studs, just buy the bolts. But yes, heads can be removed with studs installed.

Brett Foote That is a VERY VERY bad idea. You may snap a bolt the next time you go to take the heads off. You also dont have the right torque on you heads currently because of the bolt stretch.

DON'T reuse your factory headbolts like bigboykilroy said. At the very less, purchase a new factory head bolt kit (one kit per head) from your GM dealer or summit racing. They run about $25 per set. part number GM - 12498545.
Plus, nice resurrection of an old thread for no good reason....derr.....
Lol, derr.... made me laugh, and the link is wrong. Sure TTY bolts can be reused soemtimes. Get out a bolt stretch gauge and check them. The link says only replace if damaged.
