Default AC Vacuum line from engine

I am in need of help figuring out the correct vacuum line to get from the engine to the fire wall that supplies vacuum to the AC control. It’s very thin and plastic but can’t seem to find it online anywhere. As you can see in the picture below I’m pointing at it. It T’s off from the headlamp vacuum and goes into the firewall.

I think the closest I’ve found is a vacuum repair kit for a mustang but it doesn’t list the size. Outer diameter appears to be 1/16.

Any ideas on replacement hoses or alternatives to fix?

don't see the break but regular vauum line with small internal diameter that the plastic line will fit in.
cut a 3 inch long piece of rubber line and stick the plastic line in both ends to slieve the break.
