KIND of looks like part of the power steering return tube, or maybe part of the trans cooler lines.

then again, could be just a vacuum lines.

Alright, i think you have the radiator bypass pipe, that connects the bottom of the radiator reservior to... whatever it goes to..... On mine the hose connects to the pipe near the P/S pump and then runs under the engine.... is there nothing there for your to hook up to? If not, that may be where they pipe bolts to...
