I would hesitate to replace ALL. Normally, the vacuum tubes underneath the carpet last a long long time. If you are so inclined then I would recommend to replace all rubber connectors under the hood. Those become brittle due to heat and exposure. Check out the vacuum hose in door pillars as they 'move' when opening or closing the doors. They could become brittle and crack. You can also replace all the doors, trunk, gas cap pods if you want.

The air circulation pods could also give you problem if it leaks. Car won't shut down. In other words, the sky is the limit to change out everything.
