My car is an all stock 1990 Hatch DX. it just hit the 200k mark and I just recently replaced the Radiator, Water Pump (along with timing belt), Thermostat.

I would like to replace all of the coolant hoses to protect my car from overheating.
I plan on replacing the following:
-Upper Radiator Hose
-Lower Radiator Hose

but what are the other hoses that I should replace? How many of them? I cannot find a compiled list of this anywhere online.

Also, in addition to the water pump, thermostat, radiator, what other components should I replace (Exception to this would be heater core).

Thanks for any information.

in addition to the upper and lower radiator hoses, these are the coolant lines for the 90 DX (2nd picture is heater hoses):

Thank you so much kind sir!... very helpful! =)

Also, do you have any recommendations for clamps?... The Honda ones are a pain in the ass to work with!. I usually just use pliers. Any recommendations or would AutoZone's finest be sufficient?...

Thanks again
