I have an 85 golf that was converted from fuel injection to a
carburetor. On the intake manifold, there are two hookups on the right
side (the hoses have been removed) and they route 'something' under
the manifold (it doesn't enter the intake area, but it's part of the
actual metal). It goes in a U shape and exits the same side. What is
this for? Was it perhaps for coolant to warm the air on a cold start?
Just curious.

Possibly. Since you don't have an '85 Golf intake, it's anyone's guess.

I do have an '85 golf intake. The bracket to mount the ford carburetor
is custom made in some ragged machine shop

Anyway, after some investigating on the internet I think they were
coolant hookups.
