Default silicon vac lines?

I want to replace all my vac lines with silicon ones.

does anyone know an approximate about how many feet of which thicknesses I need?
I remember there being a thread with a 225 with all red vac lines with measurements for each one,
but I can't seem to find it anymore.

also, does it really matter where I get them, i mean, its just silicon tubing right?
I was looking at hose techniques

The install should be straightforward, right
can I reuse the stock little clamps?

thanks1

I ordered a kit over the internet and it came with;
15 feet of the 3.5mm,
6 feet of the 6mm,
6 feet of the 8mm.
I haven't fitted it all but there seems to more than enough. And if you take a closer look on that engine, they are using zip ties instead of clamps on some of them. Sorry I can't remember what the name of the company that I got the kit from, but if you do a search you will find some.

sweet, i found a kit on hosetechniques.

the only concern i have is how much vacuum the 225 1.8 can generate. the hoses i found are 25 In Hg proof.
my car idles at ~19-20 is that too close or am i just crazy?
