Looking for 1990 L98 Heater hoses, etc.

[AIRBUS]

When I removed the "nipple" (referred to as 'heater bypass tube' in a Vette article), it was immediately evident that corrosion pitting would make it a bad idea to reuse that nipple WHICH...got me to thinking that there were probably other parts that ought to be replace. Sure enough, that nipple (btw, it threads into the rh side of the pump) is connected by a short hose to a tee. The tee is located underneath the a/c compressor and just a bit inboard. The bottom of the tee is connected by a hose to a hard line which goes to the oil cooler. The top of the tee connects to the tank up by the ps w/s, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, the young man at the local Chevy dealer, though very nice, has not had any luck finding any of the heater hoses EXCEPT FOR the u-shape one which connects the tank to the heater core. He did get a new heater core for me. (Will let you know how that goes. Been reading posts from you guys and the folks over at CF on this.)

I have a new water pump and upper and lower rad hoses.

Can anyone help me ident the rest of the heater/oil cooler hoses and that tee and "nipple"?

Also would appreciate suggestions for a source. (Neither Ecklers or MAM show/list these parts in their catalogs.)

Sorry for being long-winded but you guys really have been a big help with some other items I've had with my Vette.
