Yeah, 96 is an interesting, but awesome year.
The fact that the 97+ hoses are plug and play on my 95 indicates to me that the parts are pretty much exactly the same (as far as sizes go) for a wide range of years.
Let us know how it goes. Remember that this is a GREAT opportunity to flush the heater core forwards and backwards with a garden hose (nothing high pressure) to optimize the heater efficiency. If the hoses are stuck on the heater core pipes, don't go Hercules on them, carefully use an exacto knife or utility knife with a new blade to carefully and gently cut the old rubber off the pipes.
