Default Cooling system hoses kit

I purchased a SAMCO hoses kit for my 92 LT1 6 speed, but only 4 pieces was included in the kit.

Shall anybody tell me where to get the rest of hoses since I want to replace the whole cooling system?

I heard that some of those are not available anymore.

Thanks in advance

I used the same kit. Haven't replaced the heater core hoses yet.

On the hoses that come off the tank and go to the radiator & overflow you can cut the crimp connectors that hold the rubber hoses to the metal lines and replace the rubber with small diameter heater hose. Under the crimp connectors are nice barbs & you can just use regular hose clamps to secure. ALL my coolant hoses are brand now now.
