I believe the answer is that yes, you can reuse the original head bolts. That said, I've heard from multiple sources that these will work for the Z24, and that they fix an issue where the z24 head gasket could blow if the studs aren't re-torqued periodically:

ARP Head Studs Saturn 1.9L DOHC 91-99 165-4202

Just google for "ARP 165-4202 z24" and you'll see a bunch of different threads where those are recommended as a replacement for stock.
