there are two leads that are taped together coming out from under the inlet manifold. one lead has a round plug that screws onto the airbox but i dont know where the other 'standard' plug goes. it cant be to far from the airbox because there is not much length on the cable. can anyone help me?
also i am stumped regarding the two terminals on the cylinder head. (the blue and orange ones.) i have connected the blue one but i cannot remember which plug goes on the orange one. is the plug for this connection be colour coded like the blue one? it would make sense since the terminal is orange but i cant remember and i havent found an orange one.
reconnecting all these plugs is confusing me big time!

The spare plug goes the same place as the spare pipe that is hanging off your inlet manifold - to emissions equipment which your car doesn't have!
By orange one, I presume you mean the temperature sensor for the gauge, at the rear left of the head, under the inlet manifold.
The connector for this should be hanging nearby. It's a two pin connector, but it only has one pin fitted.
