Default valve spring change necessary?

Hi again,

since my last thread about the old faithful cam was closed, I have to start a new one.

It's now clear that I will swap the XE276HR for a Butler "OF" cam with LS at 114°.
My mechanic wants to keep the old valve springs and I need to know, if this will work and be safe. I have these springs at the moment:

I won't go past 6000rpm.
If we need new springs, I will need a tool to change them with the engine in car and heads still in place. Not sure if this is easy to do, since we only have a tool to change springs with the heads off.

Thanks a lot for your opinion on that.
Chris
