Based on my limited knowledge, I would keep your locks and get the required beehive retainers.

I just realized I will have a brand new set of CC 105# springs and retainers, sitting on my desk Monday afternoon. These I won't be using.

Hmmm you are only installing 1.7 rr? No cam? Age and miles on your car? Depending your answers, I would just use stock springs/retainers. It would be much easier on your tensioner.
