Think they are part of the air pump control. Should be a black plastic box behind your hand in the pic. It is on the passanger side of the air intake at the front of the engine. Has a metal pipe going from it over to the air pump. Believe those wires plug in inside the box.

Those two plugs are for your AIR switching valve and your AIR diverter. It doesn't look like you have the diverter valve in there - it would be mounted right next to your A/C compressor toward the center of the engine. Your switching valve is mounted on the other side of the A/C. They are two small black boxes with hoses and vac lines running from them.

If they are not there, there is a chance your catalytic converter and/or AIR pump might be gutted. :cheers:
