Preparing for supercharer install

Just put one on and wait for your engine to blow and then replace the engine with a low mileage one. That's what I'll do when my engine goes. I didn't have ideal compression on my engine when I put it on and pretty sure the head gaskets are the culprit. When the engine goes, I'll just swap it with a low mileage jdm engine.
 
I have everything in my possession to install the supercharger except the vacuum hoses. Planning on going to the store shorty. Need some confirmation on sizes and lengths.

In the supercharge sticky thread the info states;
1 3/8” Vacuum Plug Intake Silencer Plug
1 Vacuum Hose – ½” X 34” long Connects Air Tube to Cam cover
1 Vacuum Hose - 3mm x 9" long Connects Vacuum Throttle Opener to Intake Manifold
1 Vacuum Hose - 3mm x 5" long Connects Vacuum Throttle Opener to Intake Manifold

*EDIT*
I confirmed with the instructions these are the correct sizes but the problem is NAPA, O'reillys, or pepboys don't carry the vacuum hose in the 3mm (3/32") size.. OR, the 5/16x5/16x1/4 tee. However, I did find vacuum line that is 2.8mm and a tee that has a few sizes stepping up from 1/8 to 3/8.

Anyone know if this will work? If not, where else should I look for these specialty sizes?
