If the heads were bone stock they will have the same geometry as a stock LS1 head. If they put bigger valves in them, mill them, valvejob, etc, that all changes valve drop. You can measure the valve drop before you put them on and compare it to the cam you decide on to make sure it will work. There's not really any tricks. Should just be a simple head swap. Make sure you get new valve cover and coil brackets since yours is a '98 car and has perimeter bolt covers and brackets.
