I"d think miles put on since then (heat cycles/exposure to fuel hoses) would be the larger factor in terms of hose wear but at very least, if there's any doubt, do the fuel hoses. This also gives an opportunity to inspect the fuel rails. Some vendors sell metal replacement fuel rails. That fuel rail plastic is pretty old now though I bet it's of better quality than a lot of newer stuff. Neil.
