Leaking alot of coolant!

my car has never had coolant leaking problems or any of that stuff, today i put on a greddy smic with a pettit duct, when i was cutting away the stock duct i didn't feel like i cut any lines or anything, it felt like i was cutting just the plastic stock air duct, well anyway i finish the install take it for a test spin and i notice the coolant temp is climbingpast 95 degress celsius so throw the fans on high put its keep climbing all the way up to 107 so i pull over and cut the car off, i take a look under the car and there is a huge puddle of coolant, also there is smoke coming from my under hood so i pop my hood and see that coolant is spitting all over the ground, my question is are there any lines to the radiator under the air condition tank in front of the battery that i may of cut and not noticed? i havent had a chance to get under and get a look at things, i just wanted a heads up for what i would be looking for.
thanx in advance

Just a guess, but maybe you pierced the hose to your AST?

i didn't ask you to find the leak, what i asked is are the any lines running to the radiator that go near the air conditionor tank, thats all, and my best chance at finding the leak is with all the parts on, i need the car to get up to temp so that it can start spraying out water/anti-freeze from the leak.
