Default Is this factree?

Howdy yall, I got a delima.

Are these rubber connection pieces original (climate controls for 1981 vette) ? I ordered a kit from Eckler's a year ago for simplicity's sake and they're the right gauge, but far to thick to slide into these lil pieces. If they aren't original, the hole that gets plugged by the connector piece, does it need to remain plugged or can it free ball?

Thankyou!

Looks just like the one on my 81 that I unplugged a couple of weeks ago to fix the controls.

The kit hoses you purchased will attach directly to the vacuum switch in-place of the clear molded original hose assembly.
You should have also received enough 1/4" spring clamps to use at each hose end of a non-barbed fitting.
Make sure you make a plugged hose end to take the place of the plugged #2 port of the original hose manifold.
