Help with missing items in engine bay

Need help from you guys. I had body work done on my car recently due to an accident that occurred last yr. When i checked the engine bay, there were components that were not replaced but i don't know what they're of or for and i was also unable to find the missing pieces using realoem.com. The area is around the driver side rails or below the intake pipe. Here are the poor quality pics using my blackberry.

Thanks in advance

There are pics of engine bays in the following threads. Perhaps you could point out what you think is missing:

I'm pretty sure he is talking ot the pressure hoses that just end in midair. They look like part of the A/C system...maybe a evaporator or just the fill for the high and low side missing the caps. I am not familiar with the layout of the engine, but just using a total guess based on my limited experience.

The only things missing are the black caps. Part # 64538390633

Those are the lines for filling the AC system.

That is all that I can see that is missing as well. Everything else seems to be there.

Thanks. Looks like i'm missing parts to the JCW air intake.
Since i no longer use the JCW airbox, does that mean those parts are irrelevant & no longer necessary?

Probably so as you now have a Cold Air Intake which pulls the air in via the cowl vent.

the part you're missing feeds air from the front into the aibox. You have no hookup for it on your CAI and would not be able to use it.

Bottom of the box (#1) should still be there. Making fresh air intake (#18 & #12) applicable.

You also seem to be missing the metal bracket that holds the electrical connections for the radiator fan. The same bolt that secures the air conditioner filler tubes (mentioned in posts 3 & 4) also goes thru this bracket. I'm not seeing those electrical connections so they must have routed them differently.
