They will work with no problems. It is a good idea to get new apex seals on a rebuild though if its available in the budget.

Be sure to at least get new springs for all seals.

I'd also recommend you check the side seal clearance. if they are much looser than .003" - .004" I would consider getting new side seals. My motor had side seal clearance at about .005" (max allowable is about .006") and it would get blowby under cold start, burning oil. it was fine when it warmed up though.
