Goodyear makes a kit, has all the hoses but one, from what I hear the hoses are blue colored, not the usuall black. Not sure who or where it is sold though.

goodyears kit is expensive because its supposed to last a long time. If i were you, just replace the ones that need to be and save your money.

The Goodyear kit isn't really that pricey, since you get 10 of the 11 total hoses needed..[price each replacement hose, and add it up?]
The Goodyear engineers erred and the kit is one hose short...
A good kit tho..
Also note, that it is for 95-7 hose configuration, not 93-4[although you CAN update to late congifuration rather easily..]

If the Goodyear kit is a light blue color, that usually designates a higher temp hose than stock, so consider that as well, It's going to be a little heavier duty.

The kit # for 95-7 f body is #5006 Summit has them for about 100..

The missing hose is a heater hose, yes...
In this diagram[off shoebox' site] it's # 15:
http://shbox.com/1/heater_hoses.jpg
I just used a 14.5" piece of 3/4 heater hose for that.

To use 95-7 configuration on 93-4 you need a 'heater outlet hose connector' [bleeder pipe] without the 'tee' on it that the 93-4 has [The 95-7 one doesn't have a 'tee' in it] it is GM p/n 10262478

You do the 95-7 throttle body bypass, and route the TB hoses in 95-7 configuration...
This allows you to use the 95-7 radiator inlet hose, instead of the 93-4 inlet hose [that has that 'tee' in it, for the TB hose]... [see # 14 on both 95-7 and 93-4 on shoebox diagrams links below]

95-7:

93-4:

http://shbox.com/1/heater_hoses_93-94.jpg

I was going to do a write up,but never got to it...
