Need to try it out with just the single 600 to see if that works.
If you put one of the flashes on your hot shoe and set the other as a slave, that MAY work. MAY. My guess is it wouldn't due to the fact the slave needs to see the hot shoe mounted flash in order to fire.

Canon and Nikon flashes are a little different. Nikon has been incorporating a PC jack for years. Canon FINALLY just did. My 550 didn't have a PC jack, I had to buy the kit. (The $40.00)

Your flash has to have the capability to work in manual mode too. These shots were all manual on both camera and flash.
