Heat shouldn't be any more problem under the chassis than it was with the Candohm resistor. The Candohms dissipated some of their heat into the metal of the chassis, but it should still be OK. Lots of folks replace Candohms this way without problems.
If the power resistors have flat surfaces, you can press them against chassis and get some heat transfer that way, but it isn't necessary. You can even put thermal compound on the resistors.
