I'm in Akron too. Haven't had to do this yet, but did it with other vehicles. Its pretty common to have to fight them going in, especially when you are dealing with pre-bent lines. You should be able to gently bend them to fit roughly in the chassis. Chances aren't good that you'll be able to use all the retaining clips again. As long as they are secure and out of the way of hazards, you'll be good. You could always do the cut, flare, and union trick but its a pain and just another place to leak.
On second hand, don't fix it at all...I think its time to scrap it. Does it have any good parts?
