Your post is rather confusing, especially because there is no "ac coil" under the hood. Are you talking about the 2 rubber hoses that have clamps holding them in place going into the firewall right next the each other? If so you those are coolant lines that are going to the heater coil.

im not sure what it is its the 2 hoses above the header i know one hoes is for the ac and there is also a rubber hose i didnt want to unhook it unless i knew what it was because i didnt want fluid to rush out or ruin my AC

An A/C system wont run through a rubber hose, its a sealed system that uses metal lines, the pressure is simply too great.

The two small rubber hoses that you are talking about are on the EGR tube itself, they are vacuum hoses and nothing will spill out. Thats the only thing I can figure that you are talking about.

Use some PBlaster on the nut for the EGR on the header and let it soak in for about 15 minutes, then come back and hit it again.

If you still arent sure, snap a pic and let us see what you are talking about.
