I went to four different parts stores and none of them had any of the vacuum hose sizes I needed. Only thing they had in those sizes was fuel line. But, they had the vacuum tee-fittings I needed. Go figure.

So I ended up ordering the hoses from Summit racing as they were the only ones that had rubber lines as opposed to PVC ones.

I did buy some body shims from one of the local stores that I needed to sort out the front passenger side door that is not closing evenly with the rest of the body. When closed the bottom of the door is sticking out relative to the body. I think if I use a shim between the top henge and where it attached to the door, that should push the top of the door out and bring the bottom in a bit.
