John,
Here's a last minute suggestion:
If you're going to the trouble of replacing coolant hoses and your new car doesn't have heater shutoff valves...then recommend you add them to your list.
These allow you to shut off coolant flow to inside the cabin during the hot summer months. Those darn cabin heater tubes have been known to bust during the most inopportune time.
