If the Jet Hots are made for 98-99 cars then the EGR tube is different. 2000 is all by itself. Good news is you CAN bend the 2000 EGR tube enough to work, I have done it to put MAC headers on a 2000. Its tight but it can be done. If the headers were made for 98-99s your AIR tubes wont fit either, you can bend them to fit but they look pretty ugly if you do.. Easiest to find a used set of 98-99 AIR tubes.

Easiest is to just talk the EGR and AIR system into falling off the car, and coax the headers into growing blockoff plates

Yes, they can be bent. I installed FLP's on a 2000 SS and had to bend them to fit. If you have a vice, it works great.
