He is using the spring compressor. There is no better guide than Hammeron's here on the site. Pretty sure its a sticky in the tech section. I used that when I installed a set of hotrods and it was spot on.

I'm about to head out to eat but I'll definitely read it when I get back!
edit: I'm sitting here waiting so I looked for the thread and couldn't find any posts by hammeron. If you know where it's located it would be a big help.
edit: never mind, found it while looking at s197forum. lol.

However, he uses the valve spring compressor as well.

RH SIDE: Using the Valve Spring Compressor, remove
the 3 camshaft roller followers, shown in the illustration.
CAUTION: Do not allow the valve keepers to fall off the valve or the
valve may drop into the cylinder.
NOTE: The camshaft roller followers must be installed in their
original locations. Record camshaft roller follower locations.
NOTE: It may be necessary to push the valve down while compressing
the spring.
