Identify unhooked wires...help
The pictures below show two unhooked harness plugs I just discovered. They are located just in front of the TPI plenum below the intake hose. I cannot see anything obvious they should be hooked to. Anyone identify these?
Thanks

I think you are correct. There is a pretty good view of the water pump in the area where the smog stuff should be.

Take some better pics of by the valvecover/exhaust manifold and under the throttle body and we can probably tell you what's missing...
Look at the exhaust manifolds - are there tubes connecting to the 'top' of the exhaust manifold and running to the AIR pump on the driver's side (next to the alternator). The EGR is underneath the upper plenum and will have a vacuum hose running from it to the solenoid then from the solenoid to the vacuum source.
I'd probably guess that the cats have been gutted too knowing that they probably took off all emissions "stuff" to try and eek a little more performance out of the L98.

If they did remove the AIR pump and I see you're still running it - you might as well gut it and remove the friction from spinning the rotor inside of it - or get yourself an AIR injection pump eliminator pulley.
