   It doesn't look to me like he deferred maaintenance, but even for those   
   who do, the only maintenance related to vacuum leaks is the hoses, and   
   unless they have deterioated, there is no point in replacing them.   
      
   For that matter, even if they are stiff AND brittle, if you dont' have   
   to take them off, those within the engine won't leak.  Maybe a hose from   
   the engine to not-the-engine will be affected by vibration.
