I am in the process of removing the rear bench heater from my van (never use
it, want the space). I had planned on just putting bolts in the hoses and
clamping then off where they attach to the rear heater, but upon inspection,
the hoses that continue up front to the front heater are pretty old and
droopy and I am thinking I might want to replace these as well. Has anyone
done this? Anyone know what the part numbers are? Can I use a standard hose?

This looks like this:

FH              RH              E
||              ||              ||
=========================

FH = Front Heater
RH = Rear Heater
E = Engine
