Or you could do like I did. I bent up my own steel lines for all the engine vacuum hoses. I was in need of replacing the vapor canister lines and it seemed a better, long-term solution to use steel line for those hoses running over the exhaust manifold. Rather than just doing those, I did all the engine vacuum in steel and it looks pretty good.

The cost for doing the entire engine and all vacuum lines under the hood, including those going to the headlights was probably about $200 if I remember correctly. So far, after being on the car for about 2 years, no problems have occurred and there are no leaks either.
