I was gonna recommend a cheaper alternative, but I just looked online and they were about $100, so go for it.

Your unit may use different fittings than mine, just wait until your stuff arrives and measure it at that time.
You do know that you should use a tubing cutter that uses tiny knife-sharp wheels to do the jub, right? You don't want to use a saw and leave bits of copper to float about in your system.
Your tubes will also have lengths of foam insulation that you'll need to shorten. You can slide the insulation over the end of the tube and make your cut with scissors, then snug the end down to the tube with nylon tie-wraps.
Your tubing will have little plastic caps that keep dirt out of the tubes. The tube is not pressurized or 'filled' or anything. After you cut your tube and slip your flare nut (use the ones that are already on the tube) over the tube, then make the flare.
Then put the little caps back on the tube until you're ready to do the deed.
