The radiator on my 1989 240 has a small leak somewhere near the top, driver's side so I am planning to replace it. Should I go with OE from my local Volvo dealer or is there a better, similar priced one out there? Is there anything else I should replace at the same time?

I was thinking about these hoses. The old ones feel pretty squishy:

The thermostat was replaced 2 years ago. Should I replace it again while I have stuff apart? Anything else I should think about replacing?

My A/C hasn't worked in who knows how long. I think replacing any of the A/C parts is useless and would cost me too much. Does anyone think it is worth it either to replace any of these parts or worth it to remove them? How many pounds are the A/C parts and how much would they save on mileage? I could go to a shop and get an A/C inspection to find out where the leaks are and what needs to be replaced.
