Some questions about replacing all the vacuum lines
Is there a kit that I can buy that has all the lines or should I just buy a reel and cut each one to length. Thanks for any help.

Re: Some questions about replacing all the vacuum lines
No "kit" that I know of, there being a HUGE variation from one model of car to another.
THere are a number of different sizes. You'll probably also find some that have a different size at each end, which mostly rules out using bulk rubber hose. I'd suggest taking them off and going to the store and matching them up, using the plastic line and the rubber ends that come on cards.

Re: Some questions about replacing all the vacuum lines
Pick one. I suggest either the one that's in worst shape, or that's hardest to get to.
Start there.
Pick another.
And another.
Presently, they'll all be done.

The off-the-shelf kits you'd find at Autozone have about 95% of the vacuum line you'd need. I was only short on the PCV line. 10mm on ebay is what I got for that.
