It is possible to re-use the fitting. Once the outer collar is cut-off, the inner barbed piece can be removed. Installing requires a new collar and a special tool to crimp it. Similar to fabricating a/c hoses. If you wanted to get fancy, you could use braided stainless hose instead of the factory rubber. At the pipe end, it's a similar operation. Unless you have the tools, or access to them, it's probably far easier to simply replace with factory lines.
