If your pistons are TDC the valve should not fall far. Make sure you get the correct spring compresser--one that fits underneath at the firewall. I believe Sears has one, but check with the site before you buy. Make sure you have valve stem seals if yours are shot. Check all of push rods for straightness (roll each on glass surface). Take your time. JMHO
Thanks. Im planning on buying a good one from sears or jegs. Just depends...

Is that more desireable for driveability or just flat out drag? The car wont see much track time .. more just street driving.

really no benefit of a higher stall on a car that is 99.9% street driven or a daily driver in traffic IMO. driving around in the stall wears it prematurely due to the heat it generates.
wrt degreeing your cam - I would, regardless of application. I just think it's conscientious practice.
