He'll probably have to stay with the copper gaskets sinced the block has been O-ringed. Correct?

Yep, cometic gaskets won't work with o'rings if the wire is still in them. It's possible to pull the wire out and use cosmetics but you lose sealing surfaces. I started useing SCE copper gaskets with the wire built in them so i wouldn't have to o'ring the block on anything over 13 to 1 and or nitrous, but they cost about the same as cosmetics and i use spray on coppercoat sealer. Anything less than 13 to 1 i just use the good Felpros.
