Default New Valve guides without new seats

I was curious if anyone suggested to install new valve guides without installing new seats.
I thought it would be good to install new guides with new valves, but I'm afraid if I start cutting into the seats that they won't be square to the guides.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

You can install guides without installing new seats, you just want to make sure to cut a valve job. The valve job won't be concentric to the new guides, but it's not so bad that you need to replace the seats.
