Can I use Cometic head gasket on stock gen 2 engine without milling the intake on the heads? I was thinking that the intake manifold will not enter the cylinder head correctly if the heads moves downs a little bit.

I found it out, You must take of the same amount on the intake side on the cylinder as you shimmed of.

Yes you can. Its not enough to make a difference with the alignment of the intake. If you mill the heads, you need to mill the intake face on the head as well. On some 01-02 cars you may need to machine
the top of the thermostat housing as well.
