HELP!!! Installing a new wiring harness

Ok, I don't have a picture because my camera batteries are out, however I have an old picture of the general area of where the wire should go.

Pretty much im taking otu my old harness as I put in the new however yesterday i got stuck and just decided to stop and remembered where all the plugs are except one.

Its a thin greenish orange wire that hooks up in that general area, its on the same wiring piping as the one that goes to the back of that item I circled on the serpentine belt (I think its the AC compresssor, but hell if I know, don't know much about engines). Theres two plugs to that item on the back, and very close to the round plug is a plug that is very thin and I don't know where it plugs into, help me please.

BTW, its a 3.1. If someone could just pop their hood and have a look see that would be great. It should be very visible.

i can look at mine later on for you, but for now, could it be the wire that goes the temp sensor below the ac compressor there?

I think my sensor has a single green with a thin plug long ways.

does this help?

i think this is the wire you are after.

It runs to one of two temp sensors. One sensor runs the guage(or idiot light)and one sends info to the ecm to start or stop the fans i think.

Yes, that is your ac compressor, this sensor for that wire shoudl be down and to the right of the ac compressor.

You owe me man, i fell on my *** going down to get that pic for you

Ok, got one last wire for ya if ya can please, The wire harness that goes up to the IAC and TPS. If you follow that harness down you'll see a plug that has two barrels like a shotgun, know where that puppy goes? Much thanks for the last one man, i never would have thought that thing hooks on like that.

I don't want ya to fall on your *** again and that goes for everyone for that matter, but anyone know where that plug goes, its on the same strip as the IAC, TPS and Alternator, it looks like a shotgun barrel plug.

Ok, if someone could do a biiiiig favor for me, i already got the old harness out, the only plug missing is the one I described above. It would mean so much to my happiness if someone could describe to me where this shotgun barrel plug goes .

Hey, I hope RBob's right; I can't think of anything else it could be either besides the charcoal canister, and I think yours is on the driver's side, so it can't be that. And if RBob's right, I feel better about myself, because I don't have an AIR pump.
