I used to run that exact cam and those exact rockers... I used 986 springs.
981s will not work because of the higher lift created by the 1.6 rockers. Unfortunately the 986s are 1.45" outer diameter whereas the 981s are stock 1.25" outer, so you'll have to get your heads machined if they are stock. It is quite cheap if they're already in the shop though. Many of the aftermarket heads come with that size spring pockets already.
