I think I have three options. Replace lines, fabricate new, or somehow eliminate the whole thing?
Been a while, but I believe it was AutoZone that had that plastic line packaged in rolls. The idea is to warm it with a heat gun to shape it as needed. When it cools it holds its new shape.

As for eliminating the secondaries, far be it from me to discourage you from that. After "plenum diving" to fix different vacuum problems, I eliminated them when I did my top end P&P and port matching. Nothing but GOOD came from pulling them, but it will require a chip calibration and a simple hard wire precaution on the POWER switch (on 1990 Zs only).
