We need to stop messing with the framework that the founding fathers created.
It’s (probably) time to replace the hard vacuum lines. Is it possible it use rubber vacuum hose or do I need to get hard lines from the dealer? I’m sure they won’t be cheap.

Rubber hose is fine

The hard lines are cheaper when building new vehicles and are easier to color code for quicker assembly, they are not "better"
