A/C manifold insulation

1993 F150 5.0 The insulation on the A/C manifold (hose) that runs along fire wall is in bad shape. Can this material be replaced? If not any recommendations on where to purchase a replacement manifold besides Ebay of Amazon.

Tried to attach a pic but could not get the pic to resize and the attachment was huge.

Thanks

yes these always crack and rot. I bought some adhesive backed rubber off amazon to replace my fuel tank strap squeak pads, and was thinking of using the left over for the AC line, but I was worried the adhesive would come undone cuz it's such a tight bend radius. the replacement line is available on LMC's website for around $50

I had thought of using insulation wrap for water lines. Any thoughts?

I think they make ac refrigerant line insulation tubes for household and commercial applications and would probably be a perfect solution on the truck too
