replacing all the vacum lines?

Does anyone know where i can get all the vacum lines under the hood replaced? im thinking about going to a shop and having them mess with it all but if its easy to do i might see where i can get the lines at and do it myself.

all you need to do is go to parts store and get rubber hose and replace them one at a time so you remember where they all go. its not that hard really

if you have any of the hard plastic lines you can replace them with rubber too

Replacing the lines yourself will cost you about $20 and maybe two hours if you get lost. A shop will want WAY more than that. There WAS a sticker under your hood (the old one if it's the one that was on the car when you bought it) that has a diagram telling you what goes where (hence, vacuum diagram).
