Missing part...

[nenyegirr]

I just got my 1987 Ford Bronco a couple of months ago and have been working on it myself.  As I was examining things under the hood the other day looking for my coolant temperature sensor I noticed that I have a metal hose that comes from the radiator that is not attached to anything, there is a piece that holds that hose to another metal hose that is also not attached to anything.  My family thinks it may be the a/c unit missing but I am having trouble finding any labeled diagrams for my year of bronco.  Any ideas from anyone would be great.  Also the hoses are not capped so I think that is where I have been losing coolant but not exactly sure.  Thanks in advance for any help.  I will upload some pictures as soon as I get the chance as well.

There may also be a small circuit to the throttle body for de-icing, which typically returns to the radiator upper tank...."
