Your pictures i can't see but it could be that you the hoses are for the heater of the car. The connecttions comming through the firewall.
The heater has two hose-connections. One from the head and one from the thermostathousing.
The hose from the head is the feed towards the heater. In the 320/6 and 316 of us there is a valve between which is connected with the panel inside for the temperature of the heater. There are type's of heaters that that valve is inside the car on the inner side of the firewall.

Upload them to photobucket.com then copy and paste the IMG code/address that should be displayed below the photos in the gallery once they are uploaded. It should look like this....

the small outlet closest to the front of the car runs to the underneath of the throttle body. The one closest to the firewall runs to the side of the throttle body.
