Default C4 maintenance

I've had my baby apart in the garage for the past week replacing parts and cleaning things up, I needed a new radiator.
I have a couple of questions.

First, where can I find a set of Coolant hoses that aren't overly expensive, I cant seem to find all the hoses, everything I find in a set says out of production and can only find 3 of the hoses I need.

Second, I have another 6 days before I get my radiator in, and an unknown amount of time for my valve covers. what all would be a good idea to replace while I have the intake and everything apart? have new gaskets for everything, my IAC good, and FP regulator is good.
I have replaced the original to the car EGR valve, new knock sensor, thermostat 195°, spark plugs (which are so much easier to get too with everything taken apart&#128518

Sorry forgot to mention that, it's a 90. Radiator is the same as 91-96
rock auto only shows 2 hoses. I need all of them

If you have the old hoses take them to your local auto parts store and match them up. I have found hoses for 60s muscle cars that were close to something newer.
