My exhaust manifold on my SR20DET melted my master brake cylinder and fried a hole in my A/C hose. I am assuming it is the A/C hose because now my A/C doesn't blow cold air. I need to know what the A/C hose is called that runs underneath the exhaust manifold so I can replace it. I have recently thermal wrapped the manifold. I will post a picture as soon as I can. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Thanks

On the exhaust manifold side you have the compressor suction line, which is also referred to as the low pressure line (runs from the evaporator in the cabin, thru the firewall, on the top/back side of the engine, adjacent to the exhaust manifold, and back to the compressor). It is easy enough to cut out a section and piece it back together, assuming you have straight ends so you can fit a compression fitting back on. In the pic below, you can see my adapter used in an RB swap... the same setup would work to repair a damaged line and would probably cost you less than $50.
