i have a set of prc duals that came with new seats/seals. how do i go about changing them? another one of my vavlesprings broke last night. replacing the springs with duals is the easier route than to go back to the stock cam/springs.
also, would i have to put the stock seats back in if i ever decide to go back to the stock internals?

You have to follow spring change procedures, but adding to that is removal of seals and then pushing the new ones on. For this use a tall socket a little bigger than the valves as a pusher.
Yes on your second question.

Can I ask what cam springs you are using... just wondering why the first and second springs broke. Bad quality springs or not the right combo? Noob here, trying to understand cam and spring selection. Thanks.

It should be noted for posterity's sake that if you were changing the stock valve seals on a later model (01-02, I believe) LS1 the valve seals and seats are one piece, so when you pull the seals the seats will come along with them.
