Thanks for the write up!

I think you're right to use screw clamps on the hoses when you re-install. After a few years the OE clamps compress the hoses making them slightly thinner where the clamps sit, and if you use OE clamps they often won't have enough clamping force due to the now-thinner wall of the hose, and you'll get a slight leak.
