Nevermine found it. Sorry. Now problem is how come i dont have that looping tube in front of the where the bracket for the sensor attaches to. Is that an important part? Is that connected to the ac somehow. From the pictures it looks like a tube but im not quite sure as i dont have one. Thank you

That's really weird. Pretty sure every B5 has it (there's been one on every car I've worked on).

That little loop in front of the AC condenser is the power steering cooler. The ambient temp sensor is on top of it.
