removing valve springs

I have the tool to compress the valve springs with the head still on but do I have to pressurize the cylinder to keep the valve from falling or can I just turn to motor to tdc?

Turning to TDC will work just fine. There is minimal clearance when at TDC, so the valve won't drop far, if any noticeable amount.
