Keep in mind, the plastic pipes are larger outside diameter than the old steel pipes. The 4 rubber hoses that attach to the 4 pipe ends won't fit right till you change them too.

The holes in the crossmember need to be enlarged too, or the piped won't go. Bentley page 19.7a explains what is needed to make the plastic pipes work as replacements for metal pipes.
