Tom;
        Just take measurements and try to equalize the chambers.I would
install some dummy valves to protect the valve seats.
        I think I understand your dilemma between the OEM heads and the
AMC heads. As long as you don't mix them you should be OK.
        What is the difference between the deck heights? That is, the
valve deck to the cylinder contact area. With the OEM heads you would
include the head gasket thickness(compressed). By the drawing you make it
look like there is extra material. Logically there would have to be to
keep the valve train/pushrod geometry the same.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
