The wire from the coil to the distributor is supposed to fit within the tabs on the air box.

I wasn't sure what angle that was at first, but I see now those are the wiper sprayer tubes that split off to the headlight wipers.
There will also be vent tubes that come from the reservoir and attach to the upper fender area. They will be attached to nothing. They serve as a negative gravity device for the washer fluid.

The wire with a little plug on it is your temperature sensor. I think pic number 6, labeled sensor that hangs. There is a little piece of metal that has a hole in it under your bumper for the sensor. I just did my 850 radiator. Lots of fun.
