Loose wire identification help needed

I put in a new clutch and when replacing the engine I have two wires and one connector that I can't identify.

The first are two loose wires. They are beige in color, roughly the same length and are coming from the harness the comes out of the top of the engine compartment near the hinge, right below the window. I tried to indicate the location in the picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my schematic reading skills are really marginal.

The second picture shows the female end of a two pin connector. My disconnect notes don't list this connector, but I vaguely remember it being near the main wiring harness connector.

Again, I would greatly appreciate anyone with a mid-80 carrera that could check on either or both of these items. Thanks.

I'll take a stab. The pic could be better, but then, so could I.
If the single wires in the pic have ring lugs, they're probably grounds.
Could the "two pronger" go to the blower motor in the picture?
Can you account for the cruise control wires, the throttle position, and /or idle switch connectors?

Thank you x two. The blower motor was correct for the connector. I looked at the schematic for the throttle position sensor, which allowed me to identify the two brown wires that got pulled out of the ground behind the fuel filter.

All good, case closed.

the plug that goes no where is probably for the wur vac pak which not all cars have but all ars seem to have the plug whether they have the vac pak or not so my guess is the wires go no where. Just a guess but that is what the wire like that in my car is.
