With the age of the car unless you replace ALL the rubber hoses you will just be going back in multiple times to replace the hoses one by one.
Don't forget the DCCV is very failure prone and most likely needs replaced too.
The top coolant reservoir is another age related plastic part that will need replacing.

Most plastic parts and hoses look great, I don't know. This hose broke because it rubbed against the accessory belt. There's very little space between this hose (the one that goes to oil cooler) and the belt, and I think motor mounts are worn, so that's why it rubs. While doing an inspection two weeks ago I noticed it and bought a new hose, but hasn't arrived yet.

I am collecting all parts to do everything at once, and was planning to do motor mounts along with suspension and all other stuff, but at this rate I might need to do it now, or it will rub against the new hose too.
