I'm following this with interest. You are doing a great job tracking down your options, and figuring out how to pull this off with the neatest installation.
And for what it's worth, back in day doing aftermarket AC, our shop stocked hose by the roll, and a large variety of barbed fittings. We did a lot of "making up a hose to fit", and a lot of aftermarket kits included barbed fittings, too. If a correct NOS OEM hose is not available, I think that making what you need is a good option, if you can get the fittings.
