Firebird 305 questions

I have an 85 Firebird with a 305 Q-Jet. And I was wondering if this motor had roller tipped rockers. And if so can / or do they need to be adjusted? And is the cam hydraulic?

Also I am going to desmog the 305 and play with the timing for next weekend. Its a toy and will only be used at the race track. Any wisdom on taking out the smog garbage?

IIRC they didn't start using the hydraulic rollers until 87 when they switched from 2-1 piecer rear main seals and center bolt valve covers.
