Hi Vortexers! Thank you for the responses to the previous questions. The next group of questions are;
1. Hey "Corrado Alley" Where did you get a metal water pipe for $10? The dealer told me $48.00 and a 2-3 week wait because "We don't stock much for THOSE cars."
2. The blue hose going from the brake master cylinder resivour to the firewall area has a split in it. Does this need a special type of line or can I use a generic rubber line?
3. I was considering replaceing the black plastic fittings coming off the head when I do the hoses. Should I do the 2 sensors as well to establish a baseline for trouble-shooting? The car has some drivability issues now and I am looking to reduce the variables before digging deeper. I am also changing o2 sensor and some vacuum lines since I feel they are all original. I found 1 vaccum line plugged with a screw. This is why I am asking about changing "extra" things.
TIA for everyone's input; it has made this car so much more enjoyable.

$10 from me. I have parted out a bunch of Corrados and you are the first to ever require that part BTW I am both G60ING and Corrado Alley
It should be a chemical resistant hose as it carries brake fluid to the clutch mater cylinder
the Blue sensor is good to change out every so often and it only costs $7-$12 from the dealer
About that screw. Do you have an air box or open air filter? I bet that line would normally run to the air box.

definately replace the black plastic fittings for the hose. the one one the front on the block leaked on both my c's. once it leaked out so much coolant that the car started to run hot. they are like $10-15 each and better to replace now while you are in there than to wait until they crack and start leaking
frank is probably right, is that plugged vacuum line on the passenger side near the intak?
