The first one is no longer available through dealers. It has been replaced by two parts. See the diagram here.

I thought the second one was a power steering supply hose from the reservoir to the pump, but I can't find a good picture of that. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in on that one. Do you know what the two ends of this piece connected to?

thanks vavet, so what parts/diagram numbers do i purchase from the picture? or there other better sites to purchase this?

Almost looks like a fuel filter on the second one.. but is that the line that runs from vacuum pump up besides PS res.?

Looks like you broke your flux capacitor.

I think it is Part #5. It doesn't show the filter type part.

Thanks guys,

heres another part i need, its a clip that holds the brown radiator pipes inplace...the clips attach to a small bracket right underneath the alternator area. i attached some picture of it..the arrows in pic 1 and 2 points to the location of the clips/bracket. the third picture shows the broke clips, already removed. do you guys know where i can get it from? i searched all over the net to no avail. thanks

I think those are the transmission cooler lines. If I'm right then you need a quantity of 2 #5 and a #6 in this picture. You also need a #9 if you lost the screw.

For low dollar stuff like this, it's usually best to visit your dealer unless you're already ordering stuff online. This saves on shipping, will likely be faster (or the same), and helps them make their boat payments.
