Default VAPOR LINE HOSE ASSEMBLE

HELP!! 1994 CAMARO LT-1 STROKER REBUILD

My engine builder destroyed (trying to get them off oem heads) my vapor lines / reverse cool lines on the back of my heads... looked for aftermarket assembly and couldnt find anywhere... then went with local GM dealer they said in a couple days.... well now they are magically back ordered and it could be weeks before getting them.. meanwhile engine is in the car
awaiting trany, headers.. ect..finish install couple questions...

1.) Can we get an aftermarket assembly???? that i couldnt find somewhere??? Wish i had the diagram to post of the (1993-1994
f hosess and pipes /radiator lt-1/5.7) part #'s 3,4,5,6,7 , 12, and 30,31,32 i need the connecting hoses
the L shaped aluminum line and the regular hose that comes to the
front of the engine.. Im sure yall know what im talkin bout

2.) Can we make our own?? im sure it is possible.. would have been
easier to do before engine was dropped in but i was expecting parts
today... anyone did this???

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GOOD SO I CAN GET THIS BABY ON THE ROAD!!
THANKS!!

Sure, need a few pipe fittings, elbow off the driver side, tee on the passenger side, tie em together with some high temp hose, and then off the tee up to the throttle body or radiator.

1/4" -18 pipe threads.

dumb question... pipe fittings....can brass work, steel, aluminum??? and what should i seal it back
to the heads with, pipe thread?? sealant ??? to hot??? dont want to mess it up and not sure what the temps / gases/ pressures are like up there. vs. regular cooling systems.. the other fittings i could
just use hose clamps.... thanks man

Shownomercy, (VAPOR LINE HOSE ASSEMBLE)

Thanks for the idea for the vapor line hose assemble, we used brass
fittings and high pressure hoses worked out great, looks cool and saved
me $70, you the man...
