Not a bad idea.
Hoses are custom. If you have the manifold that fits your compressor then it's a matter of putting barrier hose between the manifold and the condenser/evaporator ports hardline fittings. A half decent AC shop should be able to crimp barrier hoses onto the hardline fittings.
If you just have to make your own Mastercool sells a nice AC hose crimping tool... Sit down before you look at the price.
