Default '93-'94 coolant hose 'upgrade'

I tried searching with no luck

my '93 sprung a leak in the upper hose that runs from the heater core to the water pump - its just past the 'T' that goes to the throttle body. Since I'm having to replace it anyway and my TB is already bypassed, can I just get a '95+ upper heater core hose (without the T) and a '95+ driver side radiator hose (also without the T going to the TB) and replace both? If so, any issues?

THANKS,

I believe everything will work just fine. I just replaced that same heater hose ***'y on my 93 and now I wish I would have used the 95+ stuff to delete the TB coolant deal.

cool - I printed pics off your site, took it up to the guy at the parts store, and they had both sides in stock. Should be on this afternoon

got some down time at work so I went ahead and swapped 'em out

everything runs fine, no more pinhole leak shooting coolant all over my throttle body... took all of 20 minutes
