I find the braided hose really attractive though. And since I can't afford any fancy upgrades, it would be cool to order it all from Baylless or IAP if they provide braided. I'm not quite sure why all these hoses are hard to find on the site. I guess I just don't know the correct keywords. Here's what I've found so far, but I'm not sure if I'm right.
#5 and #7

#4 and #2

That leaves #3 and #6
Both move air I believe? Or are they fuel? If they are fuel, I choose from here:

looks like you are getting your hoses sorted out ok. the electrical connection you have there is an aftermarket crimp-on splice. the location would make me think it was for a manual fan switch. usually see that kind of stuff with a stereo install.

There is a switch on the left near where my knee would go. Maybe they wired in a fan over ride in case the relay doesn't kick in?

Hmmm... just looked at the switch. It's never been wired.

Still have issues squaring away all the hoses under my hood. What a pain.

Ok. Cool. Then I will order silicone vac lines from ip and tge fuel and brake. I can measure the ID. The fabric hoses at bayless say carb only, so I'm skipping it.

Going to pick up a sand blast cabinet. This is one rusty beast.

Just picked up my flare wrenches finally. That allowed me to pop off the brake hoses no problem. BAM! Replaced. I need to finish sand blasting my parts, rebuild some calipers and start reassembly.

I have to buy all new calipers. Bummer. I tried to hone mine. They were too pitted. Almost have everything else from the brakes sand blasted and finished. Splashgaurds, caliper brackets etc are slowly going on. E-brake cable is in, just need to be connected.

That's the piston to a rear caliper by the looks of it. My pistons look great. My bores are ugly.
