An AC/Delco part, if there is a deduction for it, will have a much smaller deduction than another brand would. The Judging Reference Guide should have the part numbers for the hose(s) in it.
Any deduction would have to be for how much different it LOOKS from original. If the hose fits the same, is made the same, but only has the "incorrect" part number, it would receive a minor deduction. If it were a Goodyear(or any other brand name) hose, it could receive a major deduction on originality, but score ok on condition, depending on how far from original it appears from factory. If it scored a full deduction on originality, it would also be a full deduct on condition. That's why it's always best to use GM parts as replacements when necessary.
