Default hyd flat tappet breakin question

so i thought i would never go down this road, preferring roller, but i have this cam and lifters worth nothing that i'm going to use on this engine and have a question.

i'm familiar with the break in part i believe, i'm taking the inner spring off the heads and running with the one, or can i use reduced ratio rockers and not take the spring off, but after break in.....

to put the spring back on i'm not removing the heads, i guess i have to have a tool to remove the keepers and to keep the valves from dropping do i do the rope in the chamber trick or use compressed air?

tips or tricks or what's worked best for you? thanks
