Hey ya'll, as you know it's always something...

There are plastic fittings on my heater core, and I am 99.9% sure that I cracked one yesterday. I bypassed it since it's not cold out, but in a few months I'll have to do it for real. My question is if those plastic fittings are important or if I can simply cut them off and put new heater hose in there?
