TdV8 - what does this pipe do ?

I did a terrible mistake today while jacking up the front end. I put the jack under the front end sub frame and the jack slipped

The jack went through the engine splash shield and hit a tube Its now almost flat.

I removed the splash shields and followed the tubings route - it appears to end up on each side of the engine and one of the ends goes into the radiator area.

(center of the pic - the upper pipe/tube)
Is this a coolant tube? what does it do? It has no leakage so far.
I have tried to find the part in the http://lrparts.net.ru but haven't succeeded yet

Could it be the condenser refrigerant lines?

Any help most appreciated

Looks like it is to do with the air con system.
Next time you use the motor, run the air con to see if it still works. Might be ok if it has not crushed it too much and provided it does not offer too much restriction.
If it is not so good, maybe an air con shop might be able to swap it out and re-gas the system for you.

Should be easy to cut out the crushed section and install a new piece of pipe with two straight connectors. Rehab is for quitters!!!
