The standard aga overflows have holes for a 1" drain and 3/4" return bulkheads.

so I need 1" and 3/4 flex tubing?

Are you buying bulks heads and all the necessary plumbing yourself, or using the AGA kit??

You mention tubing, which makes me think your using the kit. If you are, I believe a metric size is needed, but I could be wrong.

The new megaflow kits use barbed fittings that require odd size tubing. I hated them and ditched them for standard glueable bulkheads (1" and 3/4"). I personally prefer PVC over vinyl tubing.

If I were you I would bring the fittings to the store to make sure you get the right size.
