Connector Troubles

I'm trying to bring a 1985 GSL back to life, but I'm running into some problems. One of the things I've run into are these connectors that don't seem to lead anywhere. They are on the passenger side under the air filter box. I'm curious if they're supposed to be plugged into something I'm missing on the car or if I'm just missing something.

The only place that they would normally go to is the carburetor or the air control valve. But I can't see with your hand in the way,lol.

Best thing to do is look at the wiring diagrams in the FSM.

Here are more pics without my hand blocking some of them. I can see where some of these connectors might go, but there's no way they'll reach, so I'm at an impasse again.

The 2 obvious ones are the orange one which goes to the solenoid in your picture and the white one the goes to the white one on the carb. As far as reaching goes the harness may just be bunched up.

here are a couple of pics i took for you on my 82 GSL. no green connector(although the emissions control system may be a tad different on an 83 as opposed to an 85 and it may serve no purpose) but i did get a pic of the conncetors near the ACV and the TPS connector. if you need more, let me know.
