I buy vacuum and fuel hose from my local NAPA store, but I try to get the brands that are not made in China, because there is a real difference in material quality. The Chinese stuff will get loose with time, crack or harden, and is easily damaged by oil and fuel. The good stuff will last many years.
Vacuum hose has thicker walls than, say, wiper washer hose, so that it can take the vacuum without collapsing, even when bent in a tight curve. Just get something that fits with a little friction and you're good to go. If you are anal about how it looks, buy the OE German stuff from our sponsor.
As for the location of the thermo valve, on my CIS setup it's under the #3 intake runner. More of a PITA to get to, but out of sight.
