I don't think that is correct.
Just looking at my 4   bleeder manifolds not installed in vanagons ,
which I call Bleed Rail ..
early ones metal, laterones plastic ....there are 6 hoses that attach to it.

I'm still thinking about the rest.
so not counting auto trans ..
'maybe' it's 25 plus 2.

counting heater hoses in my head ..
not counting heater valve I can see 8 ..
and a heater valve has two hoses on it of course...
so perhaps one hose was not counted there.
I'm not super sure on the 8 isn't right ...still thinking.

so maybe 25 + 3.
