AEM CAI problem

i ordered it from this site and i indicated that i wanted the 99 model. when i got it and started in stalling i noticed that there were 4 hoses instead of 2. 2 of which had antifreeze in them. I than looked for 4 inlets in the aem piping only to see 2. and the one on the left isnt even big enough for the throttle body hose to enter. I then looked at the sheet that came with my CAI and it said 2000-2003 3.2tl. i am pretty pissed and i really want to make this work. what is going on?!? please help me.. my car is in pieces and i dont know what to do.
thanks in advance,
matt

Is it possible to take pictures? Your horn should not be in the way. Is it an aftermarket one possibly?

If not its fine, you shouldnt even be able to see your K&N filter

yeah, lol.... I installed my CAI on my 99, and when I removed the small radiator from the intake I had the same god awful feeling about that antifreeze, but I quickly cut out the radiator and bypassed the two hoses and reconnected them to each other, so basically the car doesn't know that it doesn't have that second radiator. I didn't move my horn, cause I dont know where the hell to put it. I just went to Home Depot and bought 2 metal pipe holders (like the ones that hold the rubber on the CAI pipe) and put one around the horn area, and the other down lower on a small piece of metal between the battery and the headlight assembly area.
