There's two hoses in the front of my '94 1MZ-FE that I can't figure out where they belong. I bought the car in shoddy shape needing repair, so they came disconnected as they are.

One comes from underneath the front square (pardon my ignorance) radiator lookalike in front of the actual radiator (oil cooler? idk.) and the other hose comes out of a connection on the bottom left corner of the engine bay.

The camera I used is a total piece, so the pictures arent the greatest... but any help would be wonderful. I have a feeling im missing something these go to, because the models at the junkyard had pretty straightforward and obvious assemblies.

Thanks!

The harm's probably already been done. With them being disconnected that long, there's gonna be a lot of contaminants and moisture in the A/C system. The fact they're disconnected to begin with ... well the compressor might have siezed or had some other issue, so there's really no way of knowing what shape your A/C is in. If you're not planning on fixing the A/C, just leave it.
