Yep, they bolt right up.
I've used steel compression fittings to splice a SAE to metric line, but I'm not entirely convinced of the safety of this. My favorite solution (will work on a 74, but not 73) is to order braided stainless lines from IPS w/ SAE on one end and Metric on the other and just install an early 900 axle (or late 99) w/ brakes and sway bar already in place.
I thought about this very thing for my 73 EMS, but kept the stock axle due to Panhard bar changes (there is a group making adjustable Panhard rods now) and I found some NOS Konis for the early axle, so I'm sticking w/ it...
