You could just bring the piston to the top of the cylinder. LS1 has so little p-to-v that the valve will only drop at most .1".

I used cotton rope for my spring swap. Feed it in, turn the motor by hand till it's tight, swap springs, reverse motor, pull rope out. Yeah, it was a PITA, but I don't have an air fitting for plugs.
