Honestly, I've never replaced those o-rings or the plenum gasket. I do give the plenum gasket a VERY thin coat of RTV on both sides each time. Never had an issue.
That said, o rings are like a buck a piece or less. Just go match them at the local parts store and call it good if you're worried about it.

Discovery o-rings
Dear sirs,revering to the (2) o-rings for the water pipes to the lower intake gasket Does Any one out There have a pitchers of the location of the(2) rings via the engine if you could point me in the right direction,Most apparently thank you very much I hope I can return the favor someday Yours truly Mike 53
You only need two o-rings. Follow the line from the firewall (heater core) to the block, you'll find a hard pipe that has a 10mm nut that gets bolted to the lower intake manifold -- that has an o-ring. The second is the hard pipe that jets up between the alternator and the AC compressor which has 3 10mm bolts holding it to the front of the intake manifold.
Most auto parts stores carry an o-ring "kit" which has different sizes, just get one of those and install the right size and bolt them on -- you'll be fine!
