The hoses should al have crimp connectors on them. Any good ac shop can replace the rubber and crimp it on with new crimp collers. Some places get silly and want to cut the ends and weld new tips on, I just cut the old crimp collar off with a cutof wheel, slip the new hose and collar on and crimp away.
If it has what look like funny hose clamps on it, it's been repaired before. Napa carries repair fittings with heavy duty worm gear clamps that can be used successfully, but they won't last as long as a crimp fitting, they usualy start to seep after a couple of years. If you just have one of those and want to replace it the same way, email me a picture of it with measurements, I have a bunch of those things I got in with a buisness buy out with a bunch of other ac fittings that I'll never use, I may have one to fit.
