Help id what this tubing is for

[MIKE123089]

I am having trouble tracing the two tubing runs that are at the bottom of the radiator. Me an my son was working on his car and found on tube seperated. There was no fluids ect or nothing seems not to work but its an odd tube. It appears to have tubing jacketed by rubber an the rubber split.

Power steering cooler?

could also be old ac runs if ac has been on the car before and removed.

Look like Automatic Transmission fluid lines. They run through the radiator to help cool the tranny.

That is the power steering cooler. Not really needed, as lots of people like myself just eliminate it and loop the hose around on the p/s pump.

Me an my son installed the ic. The tubes have supports bolted to the radiator housing brackets that i had to remove to replace a radiator about a year ago. So i just un bolted to support brackets an reinstalled them after the radiator was replaced. We use tunners for all our projects but this is the frist time i could not find what i needed by searching. I will check pwr steering but the car steering works very good.

Thats the auto trans cooler lines as previously stated. I had the same issues with my stock cooler lines also and ended up replacing them. Its not the power steering cooler lines because thats in front of the radiator.

OP if you have a front mount intercooler, i suggest you move the trans cooler to where the stock sidemount was. It will get rid of those ridiculous long stock lines...

You're right! Good eye! Got me there.
