Can AFR 1040 heads work on a 1989 Camaro IROC-Z B2L engine?

My son has a 1989 Camaro IROC-Z with the engine code B2L and L98. I have a set of AFR 1040 (195 Street Eliminator 65cc heads). Can these heads be used on that B2L block? Also I have a set of CompCams 1418 1.6 ratio rockers. Should I use those or stick with the 1.5. the camshaft is the original one. Will there be any concerns with valve to piston clearance? Thanks

Summit says the heads are based on L98 geometry so you're probably good there. 1.6 rockers should also be fine with a stock cam, but you should check during the mockup regardless.

If you're running TPI, it's possible that it will need tuning afterwards.
