If you torque the caps down to spec with the girdle in place and have the block Line Honed, then yes, you can use them. You must be very careful not to change the crankshaft centerline by too much because this will place undue stress on the oil pump. The best scenario is a stock capped block... but if that isn't possible, then a Line Hone is the "next best" choice.
