Exclamation unknown Parts?

Hi, Im new i just purchased a 1970 Oldsmobile Ralley 350 and it came with many parts in boxes, the original owner passed away. I cant figure out where these two pieces go to.

second question is does anyone have a diagram/picture of where the vacuum hoses go? like i said everything is in boxes.

thank you

If you have bought a car that is only semi assembled then it would be well worth purchasing a 1970 Product Information Manual (Assembly Manual) that "Hairy Olds" in the group offers. They're the best investment you could make. I'm restoring a '70 442 and those panels in your photo don't look familiar unfortunately.
Here's a link to the PIM's https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...dy-pim-131239/

Are the vacuum lines you need details on for the engine or the A/C ?? I'll find the one for the engine but here's the one for the A/C.

Parts

Just a guess, but maybe the parts go horizontally under the hood near the headlight assemblies.

They look like some parts that were removed from a school bus.

They are yellow so they must be from the car.... That was probably the thoughts of the family after pa passed away, logical... But I also don't remember any thing that looks like that on a Cutlass. Maybe it's off his Caterpillar tractor! Good luck with the car and keep us posted! Welcome to the site!

Here you go. Hope this helps, but the sketches in the Service Manual aren't the easiest to follow unfortunately.

I don't know why they're yellow, but they look similar to these parts from a 1954 or 55 Olds.

They look like they could belong to a Volkswagen thing?
