Does anyone know if other cars used the same ac hoses or where I could have them made?

Pretty much any A/C shop can make them.  I like to grind off the sleeve and just have new hose crimped on the old fittings.  You can also have your local hose shop (Hose Man is the popular one) make them up for you.

"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."--John W. Gardner, in "Excellence: Can We Be Equal and Excellent Too?" (1961)
 
Air-conditioning is so cool!
