Default 4th gen A/C question

When I bought my Accord it was a rebuilder w/ a salvage title.
I've got it all back together but in front of the A/C condenser, there's two open lines. Refrigerant lines I believe.
What goes there? At the very bottom of the condenser.

Thanks

That may be the power steering fluid cooler. I'm not sure if 4th gens had the same thing as 3rd, but mine has a metal tube with a loop in it (about 2 ft long or so, and about 1/2 in. thick) that runs in front of the condenser at the very bottom, and it's to cool the P.S. fluid. Anything related to the A/C should have two large (about 3/4-1 in. thick) rubber hoses, and smaller diameter (slightly larger than 1/4 in.) hard copper tubing. Anything else isn't related to the A/C

Only other thing I could think of it being is the ATF lines coming from the tranny (if it's an auto, and 4th gen had those), that go into the bottom of the radiator for cooling

These are hard lines. It looks like something the width of the condenser should go between these two lines.
The soft lines go into the condenser and look fine. The power steering cooler is all there and works fine. It's a five-speed

Cool. Nice diagram. You wouldn't know where I could find the complete part numbers for those pieces, would ya? Looks like I'll need bolt number 46 too.

Where can I find diagrams like that? I've been looking everywhere on the internet.
