Flappy actuator vac hose length?

Anyone know the proper length for the vac hose running from the flappy actuator to the flappy solenoid? 89GT. I'm making up new lines and somehow along the way in this project this vac hose went missing.
Thanks!

Can't you just add 10" to half the manifold length, and cut to final size later?

This -^. 18” will be way to long (enough.) Install manifold and cut to length.

Well that would be too obvious
Actually I'm working off Roger's kit and retrofitting to stock a modified vac system as I update my SC setup. I'm trying to be economical so I don't need to wait for more hose. Mostly I just prefer to do things right the first time and be done. Your way is probably better...

Just add extra length and cut to fit. I've got a ton of line if you need it.

That right-hand drive stuff is weird…
Left-hand drive vac line from the changeover valve to the resonance flap vacuum actuator is about 10” long and the actuator is very different.
