The arms probably aren't 100% necessary, but I suspect the motor plate is a little more vital, as it's part of the motor relocation changes. I still think it'd be possible to fit an old motor plate, although you wouldn't be taking full advantage of the changes. The "regular" kit will likely come with a plastic version of the plate anyway.

EDIT: Couldn't resist. Ordered. $118 on Stellamodels.
