My 1974 914 has two 1" OD heavy rubber hoses coming out of the rear firewall near the battery tray. They are both capped off and end under the battery tray. I haven't tried to trace where they go forward. Any idea what these are?

Ive seen some wonky (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) done to 914s but yeah, my first guess is AC hoses as well.

Is there a giant hole where your front trunk floor should be?

A huge chunk cut out of your passenger side engine shelf?

Yes, when I first inspected the car, I noticed that the front trunk floor had been "repaired". Now I realize it was for air conditioning. Silly me, I once had a '73 that had air in it and the unit was mounted to the front trunk floor.
