Could that be why no air is coming out my defroster?? And so if the previous owner had it unhooked us it most likely leaking it I need a new one

No, those nipples would have nothing to do with no air coming out of your defroster. But I do guarantee that if air were coming out of your defroster it would be COLD air.

It's for strictly heat...the small nipple goes to the rear of the intake manifold and the large one goes to the water pump nipple... that gold coloured valve just below those nipples is where the small hose goes...it is vacuum controlled to shut off the heat when the AC is on...

It seems disconnected for a reason. Any signs of it leaking inside the car?
