One goes down to the water distribution block on the back of the engine (where the radiator bottom hose connects). The other is connected to the thermostat housing on the distributor side of the engine.

8v coolant pipe layout diagram

 

The only pipes missing are the two which connect to the throttle body between the thermostat housing bleed pipe & expansion tank with the pipe going straight to the expansion tank from the thermostat housing bleed pipe.

The main water pipe collector on the back of the block where the pipes from the expansion tank, heater matrix & lower pipe to metal inner wing / radiator connect.

To be fair there is nothing else that can be done to help you, short of me buying a flight and fitting it for you.

 

Have some patience and look at the various replies in this thread. Look at your engine back. It really isn't as hard as you're making it :)

What other pipe?

 

There are basically three pipes to the thermostat housing, the main radiator top hose to the thermostat outlet, the heater matrix pipe on the side (can run via the coolant temp sensor housing depending on age of your car) & the other which either returns to the expansion tank or goes to the throttle body, if you connect them in from the small pipe which sticks out of the tiop near the thermostat cap.
