Yep, all heater core related. #1 needs a hose the same size as #2 connected to the side of the head. #2 hose connects to the coolant pipe that runs across the back of the block just behind the thermostat housing. It must be kinda warm where you're located because you think you have heat. Hook those puppies up and you'll see what Honda's marshmallow melting heat is all about, provided those weren't disconnected due to a leaking heater core. Careful when you try it out because you could end up dumping coolant all over the passenger side floor and ecu.

Oh yea, fixing that will not fix your a/c. Sry

The part pictured as #1 looks like a typical heater control valve, and the other part is a disconnected heater hose. You should find a heater hose "looped" on your engine, running out of one fitting and into another, by-passing the heater.

As mentioned, this is often done when an old heater core starts leaking. It's a lazy, half-assed way to 'fix' the problem. Odds are good that if someone went to the 'trouble' to do this, then you're going to need a heater core.

That too ^

It also sounds like a previous owner had the dash out if air is only blowing out the side and they didn't put the duct work back together properly.

And I'm not sure for the D15B2, but on my B-Series, that #1 hose is connected to the side of the cylinder head just under my distributor and vtec solenoid. But as stated above, look for a looped hose or possibly capped off fittings on the side of the head.

Again, be prepared for a flood under the glove box if you do hook this hoses up and start the car with the heater on.
