Cutting and flaring is not that big a deal but use a tubing cutter (not a hack saw) and a decent flare tool (not a bargain bin tool). If you hire a pro he'll have the right tools and it only takes a few minutes. Do bend the lines slowly and carefully so they don't kink. The outside unit doesn't vibrate much but it will vibrate so route lines in a way they can absorb vibration.
