If you are referring to the o-rings on the fuel rail the fel-pro set will be fine as long as they are fuel-safe o-rings. The rest of the plenum/runner gaskets are fine if they are fel-pro.

Are any o-rings not fuel-safe?
I soaked some hardware store rings in gas for a couple weeks with no change.


Yes, many o-rings out there are not fuel compliant. When using o-rings in an environment exposed to fuel, make sure they say there are fuel safe/compliant when you purchase them. It might not be as common to find non-fuel compliant o-rings in the automotive market, but they are out there.
