Metal Heater Lines Leaking - behind engine

Metal Heater Lines Leaking - behind engine
The metal heater lines that supply the rear heater are leaking behind the engine. It seems to be under the alternator area (where I cannot see!)
Question: Can I cut out the bad section and clamp on heater hose or do I need to have a flange or lip at the end of the pipe? I am afraid hose clamp will not be good enough on a pipe with no ring around the edge.
Do I have to remove the intake to take out the pipe system?
I appreciate any options you may suggest.
I am considering just bypassing the whole system with copper lines.
Ideas? Concerns?

metal heater lines repair
I fixed my metal lines last night. I cut the lines behind the engine and spliced in copper tubing with 5/8 rubber hose (2 clamps per side of connection).
