On my 91, I just found a hose that worked. I put them together and a small pipe to hook them in right for a bit then took it out and mixed and matched at the auto parts store.

I saw this on Eckler's this morning. Might be what you are looking for.

I just got a long enough length of heater hose to route directly from the heater core to the intake. No splices required.

The hose originally goes from the heater core to the TB and second hose from the TB to the intake manifold. You have to either unconnect the hoses to either side of the TB and use some type of connector to splice them or get a long enough length of heater hose to route directly from the heater core to the intake.

I would really like to clean up the engine bay. Getting rid of the 2 tb hoses would be nice.
My car is a 92 with a one year water pump style i think..

I don't know that you can get rid of them all together. You still need coolant to flow through them. Your engine will thank you for it.
