Didn't the last VW bugs have an L-jet system? You probably
will not need to change any of the fuel lines from the 
D-jet. The D-jet even had an adjustable regulator. You 
might be able to get away with tweeking the pressure 
regulator and the new air flow meter.

Sounds like you biggest hurdle is lack of confidence
from this being your first try.

Good luck,
  Walter

PS Did you know that the D-jet map sensor is adjustable?
There is a hex screw behind the black cap. You might not
have to replace the FI system at all, unless you really
want to of course.
