Looks like the heater core was bypassed. Good chance it's leaking. That hose you have your hand on should go where that short piece of hose is with the bolt stuck in it. The other end of the hose you have your hand on goes to the heater core as well I believe. Need a little better pic of everything to see what they did.

Well it should split somewhere to go across the valve cover and connect to the water controlled choke. I will try to get a picture of my 73 wagon's setup so you can compare with it.
