On mine the plastic pieces had no purpose to them whatsoever, or at least with the coolant line, it attached with an L clip.

I don't have the lower fan shroud on my car but I can see the plastic being there for that, it does seem that's the only reason fo it to be there.

If you can't saw that off then I see no way off getting the radiator out unless you can get the fan out before.
