I'm going through my vacuum system and replacing all of the old rubber lines. Now, the new line I've got is the same style as the old, but it seems to have a smaller diameter. Would this cause any sort of blockage or stifling of the system? They all fit onto the hoses, with little effort.

A lesser diameter throughout the system will give you a slight restriction; the amount of impedance depends on how smaller the diameter is; the lines should fit tightly, not loosely as to not become unfastened with the car's vibrations.
