Vacuum hose is vacuum hose.  Just for fun you could get some of the new colored silicon stuff to dress things up.  If you start using hose clamps though be careful a lot of the fittings are plastic and somewhat brittle from the age and heat.

you need high pressure and the correct size, the FLAPS vacuum line is
fine. If the line comes off, so what?  You just put it back on (but with a
hoseclamp this time).
