all rubber lines are suspect in an old car ESPECIALLY in your area.
brake,transmission,fuel. I'd ONLY go new in these cases. as far as axles go, you can rent the tool to change them yourself if you have access to compressed air, the boots are not expensive, and if yours are not leaking yet, but badly cracked, it's THE way to go on these cars. the rebuilt axles are pricey, and not as good as the originals on the car, the new stuff from autoparts stores are garbage. PRC stuff...
