Trying to fix what another started
Ok, so heres the story: My friend asked me help him with a head job that a another mechanic did half way, the previous mechanic tore down everything besides the passenger head before totally bailing on the job and leaving my friend stranded. I took up where the other guy left off so far we have put on both the heads, rockers, lower and upper intake manifold, but at this point we have a couple parts we are unsure where they go or what they are in general. Two of which look to be sensors of some sort but we don't know how to identify them or where they go! I'm putting pictures up in hope that someone can clue me in on a idea of what they are and where they go. Also we got a repair manual but it the oddest one I ever seen. If anyone knows were I can find another really good one online I'd really appreciate it.

First off there are these holes at the top of each head

(the bolt is in on this one, its approx in the cent of the picture)

(this on is in the shadow a bit)
but i have no clue what their purpose is... for now we put two bolts in there but I'm not sure if there is something important that goes there.. Any ideas??

Here are the pictures of two sensors, a bracket, and an elbow that he broke off (pretty sure i know where it goes but making sure just in case.)

(sensor 1)

(sensor 2)

(the bracket, wish i suspect goes with sensor 1)

Those 2 bolt holes holds on a black bracket that goes along the side of the Upper Inake Manifold where the emission stuff is mounted. Take a look at the attached pics. Might want to enlarge the engine pic so you can see just above the valve cover all the stuff you have pics of. That bracket has another piece somewhere that attaches to it and it screws in the back of the alt after you mount it on the engine. The L shaped elbow goes on a vac line, possibly on the fuel reg line.

The holes in the intake are for the fuel injectors, you will see there should be 6 holes that all correspond to the runners in the lower intake mani. That bracket assists in holding the Alternator. It bolts to the head almost on top of the intake. There will be 2 slots that the bracket will fit. The plastic elbow is broken (just trust me here and go get new ones from your local autopart store) there should be 2 of them and they transfer water from the block into the heater hose manifold. The first round sensor I am not sure of it is not one I have on my car. The larger sensor mounts to the bracket and there should be some hoses and a plug that attach to it. Follow your emission hose routing diagram on your shock tower to help you identify the parts and where the hoses go.
Hope this helps

Where that bolt is is the hole that the bracket goes into. That one looks like the driver's side which holds a bracket that the coils mount to, passenger side is the bracket you show in the pic and it goes into the same spot on the other side.

Oh, my bad. The L shape plastic piece is located under the throttle body and is a water line and depending on what model, you might have two of those L shaped hoses, one where the heater hoses enters the water pump area. I glanced at it and thought it was a vac line elbow. Here is another pic of the set up where it screws into the alt.
