I think I'll leave the hoses in there just for the coolness factor of having the original GM hoses under there. I like vintage cars -- I check Hemmings out of the library regularly and read everything in it, I am subscribing to Hemmings Classic Car, have read Cobra in the Barn, Hemi in the Barn, and Corvette in the Barn, etc. I am a big fan of survivor cars, and the Buick actually gives me something a bit like that to mess with . So everything is staying original unless it must be messed with (like the spark plugs).
