I bought hopped LME (M&F) by accident. Here is what the recipe http://www.tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/133

3.3 lbs Amber Malt Extract Syrup (M&F)
2.25 lbs Amber Dry Malt Extract (M&F)
.25 lbs Crystal Malt 60L (British)
1.2 oz Fuggles UK 5.1% AA (actual bought was 4.0% AA whole hops UK)
.5 oz East Kent Goldings 5.0% AA (actual bought was 4.5% AA whole hops UK)
.5 oz Styrian Goldings 5.5% AA (actual bought was 3.2% AA pellets UK)
White Labs liquid yeast
2.5 gal boil.

My question is: Do I really need to worry about the extra hops in the extract or do I need to adjust my boiling hops?

Thanks

sorry to hear that...

Is there any information provided/available to let you know the Alpha Acid and quantity?

You don't want to hear this, but I'd make a beer with it, as is, and buy more LME. I used prehopped LME when I first started brewing and it's meant to be used as is. That's not to say that you can't add some flavor and aroma hops, but to achieve this recipe, is going to be tough, IMO.
