Default Horns?

I realize how ridiculous this sounds, but someone clarify for me exactly where the horns are located on an 81? I just had the car in a performance shop where, among other things, they replaced the A/C evaporator and radiator. The horns were working intermittently prior to the work but not at all now. In diagnosing the problem I want to make sure that they work before I get into the horn button on the steering wheel. But I can't find them. I think they're supposed to be up front by the headlights and suspect that they were removed and not reinstalled during the recent work.

Thanks,
Jim

Open your hood, look between the hood and front clip, they should be mixed between your headlight actuators. or crawl under the frontend and look up around the headlight assembly.
If they were moved they could be anywhere, but should still be around the frontend somewhere.

Thanks for getting back to me. I checked all those places already. I'm pretty sure that the guy that worked on the car removed them because they may have been in his way. I'll check again.\

Thanks,
Jim

Roadbiker,
if they did remove them you should see two wire's (one for each horn) with plugs on them hanging somewhere under the front end. I've had my rad out, never had to remove the horn's, the rad removes by sliding it out from the top side.
