Couple questions

Working on the car today and ran across some issues.

First off, whats the metal tubing that runs on the right side of the car under the hood. It goes past the washer tank and each tube has a blue cap on it. I zip tied some conduit to it. Is that ok?

secondly.. what the heck do you do when you lose a wrench while working on the car. I'm scared to death it fell into some nook in the engine as I cant find it anywhere...lol

^^yep that is the AC line, zip tied is ok on it. Shake the car and use an extension magnet to look around, mostly it's sitting on the splash guards, I hope

ohhh ya that makes sense its the AC line as it goes up to the radiator from the firewall.

As for the wrench. I have no idea where it is. That's what scares me. If I knew for sure it fell into the engine I'd be ok as I would just try to get it. It just vanished..lol I did look around with a flashlight and didnt see anything. Nothing around the belt or any place obvious. I'm hoping it ended in a drawer somewhere..
