Really all you need to do is ensure you have enough fuel delivery. Don't worry about stock lines not being compatible. As acl99 said, that stuff gets exaggerated a bit. Larger injectors and more fuel pump, and a tune. And keep it simple. I personally run FIC 900 high-z injectors, with 2 intank 255hp's.
I've personally been running e85 since the Spring of 07, and plenty of my friends do as well. Minnesota has the most e85 stations in the country, everyone runs it up here in their cars, cars built in 1980 or 2012. I have yet to hear first hand from anyone I know (people I know, not internet kings) whose fuel lines have failed solely because of running e85.

your setup will depend on your ending power goal you have 500 now but you may want 1000 next week dont waste money buying parts that you will have to replace in order to move up to your next power goal:
injector: 1200, 1450 or the 1600's
pump: magnafuel 4303, triple walbro 255 (has poor life span but cheap replacement) or 2x Walbro 400
i would upgrade your fuel lines trying to push a bunch of fuel through small lines is only going to increase your fuel pressure and drivablity will suffer. A -8 or -10 is a good choice
filter would be based on whatever pump you choose and its requirement. I would also go with a flex fuel sensor setup that way you dont have to use e85 all the time
