Thanks to all who responded, solid suggestions, particularly about the motor mount & cold beverage.

I've been around a lot of cars and machinery in general in my life, and one concern I have is that if I were to replace some of the cooling hoses but not all them whatever ones are left become the weak link and will. fail. I suppose I see it as all or nothing on the hoses, unless one or two in particular are known to be failure prone with age. Any thoughts on that?

And does anyone know of a resource that shows a list of parts numbers for all of the hoses in the cooling system? I've tried to figure out how to build that list out of various on-line catalogs but haven't found a single list that makes it easy.

Appreciate the help!
