As long as it is on the intake side of the TB, it will be fine.

Proper clips are always nicer than cable ties....especially white ones, big white ones.

I have found that over time rubber hoses deteriorate and dry rot on the ends. Next thing you know you have a vacuum leak. So I would think about replacing the line with plastic or nylon line. Easy to find and install if you use heat (plastic fuel line would work as well). Barbed end looks like it is 3/8.

Good quality rubber fuel line is fine, but there really is lots of crap out there. 1/4" line is quite fine.
