Question on jegs rad. hoses.

I'm interested in some new hoses for engine dress up, like these
here:

Here are my questions:
Will these fit okay?
Which size(s) do I need?
How many hoses would I need to get?

If possible, I would like to replace only the most visible hoses with these, maybe to save on cost. Are there any other aftermarket hoses for our cars? Thanks.

To answer the 'any other hoses' for our cars..
Goodyear makes a Hi Miler kit [blue hoses.. better than stock] for the 95-7 hose configuration [93-4 are different... however you CAN 'update' to the 'later' style]
It is however, missing ONE hose[ engineering error on Goodyears part.. I contacted them and they are going to 'revise' the kit to include the 11th hose... don't know when tho]
The missing hose you can use a piece of heater hose to replace..
You Dremel off those 'crimped' stock fittings on the heater pipe assembly, then use regular hose clamps for the kit..
100 bux from Summit for the kit.. [well worth it I thought..]

Do you have a part # for the Goodyear hoses? I second the original question posed.
Thanks!

What's involved in the changeover from a 94 to the newer hoses? In other words, what do you have to do to get these to fit on a 94?

Using the diagrams from shoebox' site:
Heater hose configuration is very similar, [and the '95-7 TB bypass works for both 'early' or 'late' heater pipe assemblies....]
http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/heater_hoses.jpg
The above routing accounts for the use of 6 of the kit hoses [of which one, #15, is 'missing' from the kit.. use a regular 3/4" heater hose, or buy a few feet of Hi Miler 3/4" hose]
The 'bleeder pipe'[#4 in diagram] has to be replaced with the 95-7 pipe..GM p/n 10262478 $35.07 GM list[93-4 has a 'tee' in it..]18 bux from Jason Cromer..

http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/93-94_hoses.jpg
Note hose #14 that will not be used for the 95-7 configuration...
Note hose #4 which is routed as a 95-7 TB bypass would be.. do it that way.. [this is actually hose #5 in below diagram, from the Hi Miler kit, cut to fit..]

http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/95-97_hoses.jpg
The above diagram is how the Hi Miler hoses will route.. hose #4 will be deleted.. hose #5 will be 'rerouted' to run as hose #4 does in the above 93-4 configuration.. [for TB bypass]
Note hose # 14 which has no molded in 'tee'[it was source for TB hose in 93-4]
Hose #1 & 16] is same for both configurations...
Some of the Hi Miler kit hoses need to be trimmed to fit but it is a nice kit..
