well i just went out and grabbed some coolant and went under the car to take off the drain plug but i noticed two small things that look like they should have hoses in them but they dont...? they are on either side of the radiator and about an inch or so from the ends at the bottom.
i dont know whats goin on here but it doesnt seem right. any help?

Guys,

I have a question. My IACV is gone too, i cleaned it but the ride is not smooth. I got a D15B engine. Can i go for a thrtole body made by Skunk brand? Will it come with a IACV which my ECU will read? Is it recomended or shall i just get an original IACV?

Why i am asking this is because an IACV is US$210 and im sure a skunk throtle will be same price on ebay??????

Leave them plugged as is. You would only need those lines if you had an automatic transmission.
