VW T5 4Motion 2005 2.5TDI 130KM: Converting Front to Polift - Parts & Cooler Compatibility

Hello
I have a motorhome made on the basis of T5 4Motion from 2005, 2.5TDI 130KM. Basically, the car leaves the garage only for holidays and weekend trips, the mileage is quite decent, so I think it will be with me for many more years. As the front of the car qualifies for painting, I dreamed of converting it into a facelift version. As far as I know, it should be replaced
The mask
Mudguards
Bumper
Lamps
Grill
Front belt
The beam
These things are obvious to me, but apparently a set of coolers also needs to be changed, which I cannot understand. I do not know if all (cooler, IC, evaporator, probably support)
I cannot understand the need to replace the coolers. I wonder if:
1. The connections of the coolers will fit? (in lift versions, the AXD engine probably did not exist anymore)
2. Are the old and new headlight plugs "compatible"
3. Are there any more parts to be prepared?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have searched the internet about this and figured out the following.
Neither the fenders nor the radiators are replaced by any means.
You can leave the old front apron - the downside is the need to add plates to fix the headlights. The headlight plugs remain the same, you just need to translate some pins.
So the case looks quite good, because you need to replace the hood, bumper, grille, beam, lamps and optionally the front belt.
If someone experienced would like to verify it - I would be extremely grateful.
