Something else you might try is making a template out of wire or something similar (I use scrap aluminum 3/8 tubing since its easy to bend and holds its shape), and going to the parts store. That is what I typically do, and it works well. Just make sure you measure each end beforehand with a caliper, and take the caliper with you. Rarely takes more than 5-10 minutes of looking around to find the perfect hoses.

The stock 69 rad has larger outlets than the LS1. You may be able to stretch the LS1 size hoses over the 69 outlets. I have also run across some hoses that were sized differently on each end. If the parts store will let you in the back to search thru all the hoses u will probably find one that works.
