V01 Lower Radiator Hose
1987 C4 Auto... base suspension but has the HD Radiator Option.
My car only has 47k on it, but the hoses are all original. Since I'm beyond overdue for a coolant flush, I figure I'd replace all the rubber under the hood as a precaution just because it's 30 years old.
When I am looking up parts, there are two options... with and without 'Performance or Sport Handling Package'. I'm assuming this is referring to the Z51 package. While my car is not a Z51, it does have the V01 'HD' radiator, which I understand was part of the Z51 package.
So is the reason the hoses are different is because of the HD radiator, or was there something else different about the Z51 cars that the hose is trying to maneuver around?

If your hoses are still original and you can read the OE part# use that as a reference to your replacements.
I'd expect either 14092706 or 14078648. With only a partial being visible they're dissimilar enough you should be able to sort and make a decision.
