Need help sourcing vacuum lines

Yesterday we replaced the intake manifold gaskets on my 90 5.8l w/SD and in the process broke two of the stupid plastic vacuum lines. They were the green and white lines that come from the drivers side emissions crap and plug into a vacuum harness that sits on top of the intake manifold. Does anyone know what that thing is called and where I can find a new one? Or is it possible to just remove the whole thing and run rubber vacuum lines?

Rubber works fine. They use the thin OD plastic to save room and make sharper bends in the engine compartment. Just take time to route in a neat method, avoiding direct contact with engine.

Sweet, thanks guy's. I swear, if you look at those stupid things wrong, they'll break. It was kinda funny for I broke the first one and was cussing up a storm and my buddy that was helping me was giving me crap for it. That is right up until he broke the second one. All I could do was laugh.
