Does it have the air pump? If so, you need to check about emission laws where you are.

hi yes it still has the air pump but it was not hooked up it seems like it is seized. very minimal chance that it would ever have to be inspected here.

I'd GUESS one to the distributor, and one to the firewall (hvac control).
