    So just got my car home today and started taking a peak around under the hood. Here are some pictures of things thst are disconnected/cut

    These are on the front right(facing the engine bay) side 20160513_182928.jpg 20160513_182933.jpg


    Both of these red hoses are cut. They go into the firewall on the passenger side 20160513_183012.jpg



    20160513_183023.jpg
    And this is just the hose from the thermostat with a bad kink in it(not sure if that could cause my heat problem)


    Any help figuring out whats what would be awesome

    The red hoses go to the heater, it's probably disconnected because of a core leak.
    The others appear to be a/c lines. Looks like the compressor is missing.

    Looks like the radiator hose is a little long, cut a half inch from the end and re install. The kink should become undone. If it's still there take a little more off and reinstall.

    The first two pictures look like a power steering line.

    The passenger side valve cover is missing the pcv valve, or the connector that hooks to the air cleaner.

    Just added them back on today. Not sure why he removed them
    Cut hose still has a kink but im going to get a new hose for it


    Found out the power steering is completely unhooked the hose at the bottom of the pump up is cut and capped and the pump is empty! on the to do list for next week, today we changed the oil and boy was that oil bad

    Good news is my neighbor dropped off a bunch of mustang parts today for free!

    Anymore info on this? could this also cause any sort of bad air smell to come from the car?

    There is a hose that goes from the white plastic jug cannister that is located under the passengers side hood hinge and goes to the air cleaner. This is what the gas tank vent tube goes to, you may get a gassy smell from that area
