I noticed that the water supply lines are actually made of copper. Is there anything differently I need to do? Or does everything stay same as far as installation?

Hi Brandie
 
I'd lose the old, copper connectors and install new braided SS hoses to connect the new faucet to the old copper pipes.
 
Most places use 1/2" female x 3/8" compression x 12" long hoses... see image.
