I guess that replacing all the vacuum hoses is the best solution.
The one thing that worries me is the fact that most of the hoses
are some type of rigid plastic.  There are rubber ends to join
the line to the appropriate vacuum device.  I suppose that the
best choice is to pitch the whole assembly and replace the hoses
from end to end.

Thanks for all of the advice.
