You should replace both hoses, they get brittle with age. And trying to splice them is the half as-sed way to go. Do it right or go home.

You will need to take the plenum cross overs off to get to the hose that goes to the left side. The crossovers are pretty easy to remove, you will need to remove the snorkel and some other stuff off to get the rear crossover out.

Get at least two cans of brake clean and clean out the crossovers, they will be oily. And a can of carb cleaner for the throttle body. Nothing seriously difficult if you don't break things as you take them apart. I have a vacuum diagram if you need one. (a really clear one.) I would budget a day for start to finish, tho it can be done in a lot less.
