I worked on one cylinder at a time, and used a rope through the spark plug hole to hold the valves in place...
If you have an air compressor, there is an adapter (some with hoses) available that will acceept a 1/4" NPT hose or - better yet - quick connect fitting that will hold the valves closed with air pressure. In many cases, a single adapter fits either 14mm or 18mm plug holes. Cost is about $10.
Thirty years ago, I made it a point to purchase a compressions gauge set that included just such a fitting, and used it to replace the valve seals on a SBC.
