brake booster vacuum hose

[westy64]

hello,
I take the opportunity of the work on Prunette to replace the vacuum brake booster hose.
The one in place used to be a long one, making a loop between the intake manifold and the brake booster, when the two plugs are right in front of each other.
The hose could go straight from the manifold to the booster.
Is there a reason for this hose looping that way ?
Thank you for your help.

the motor mounts are rubber, so there is some movement of the engine when it's under load.

Does anyone have a extra one? Mine was not on the car when I got it...

why would you want to put on a used hose to the brake booster?

The insert that goes into the Booster was missing the whole thing, The only thing that is there is the Rubber ..
