If you're referring to the air-intake hose (as per Bentley P. 24.8) it MAY be that your part could be fixed. If tear isn't too bad, you can use a hi temp silicone sealant or the black goopy 3M product (can't recall name) to seal it up. AFAIK, this part is NLA, though there was a thread of discussion on this list regarding an enterprising fellow who MAY be making them. Check the archives for this. I have repaired the intake hose on mine with the red RTV hi temp sealant, though it was only cracked and not torn. Regardless it works fine. If you're referring to one of the smaller fabric boots that connects the air intake distributor to the intake manifold, these should be fairly easy to find. Good luck,
