They need to keep the content

Do they? Every single spool file? Forever, or just for a set time? Are
they backing them up? Does that version of the OS even have "Spooled file
data . . . . . . . SPLFDTA" on SAVLIB?
It's hard for us to give you an estimate on how much space this will take
converted to PDF or something. We don't know if those are 1 page spool
files or 10,000 page spool files. We don't know what kind of overlays,
page segments, imbedded barcodes, etc you may be using.
It's blanket statements like this that have me deleting all spool files
over so many days, no exceptions. Back in the day I would tell them the
OS doesn't back them up so they are to be considered expendable.
Does that version of the OS have RTVDSKINF and PRTDSKINF? That will tell
you how much space is taken up by spool files. Granted, it's not a
one-to-one in how much space they would take converted to PDF.
