Your missing the "snorkel" which is part of your air intake piping for your engine. This part missing would have no effect on your A/C operation.

No relation , that piece just adds some length to the air intake.
I just saw your question on another link so may add there about p0453
Nice rims.

Is this a salvage? In any case: Pay a Prius technician (most of them are at Toyota dealers; if you were in San Francisco you could go to Luscious Garage, an independent shop of Prius fanatics) to diagnose everything wrong with and missing from your car. If it has those gross problems there's probably a lot more.

And I'll bet the seller didn't give you any kind of warranty, either. If it's not too late, reverse the purchase. An un-inspected salvaged Prius can be a nightmare and yours already sounds bad. If you can't undo the purchase get it to a dealer right away to see what it needs. Good luck.
