Default 1987 spark plugs?

I have a New set of spark plugs to Install, They were purchased previously from a sports car shop when my son had this Vette.
They are AC Delco R45TS. I see in a manual to use AC FR5LS for aluminum heads.
Will these other ones work ok since I already have them??

Default No No No

cast heads have taper seats and aluminum heads have flat seat with a gasket. WILL NOT interchange.
