I forget what the first two are but the second picture shows the carbon vapor recovery canister and more importantly the fuel overflow line disconnected so any overflows while fueling will drain into the trunk instead of out on the ground.

The third picture shows the brake failure warning switch with its electrical connection for the warning light disconnected.

The white canister in the first pic and the black canister in the second pic are part of the evaporative fuel emissions system. The black canister collects fuel vapors from three nipples on the gas tank. The fourth line goes to the "white canister" which is a valve that dependent on pressure, routes fuel vapors to the carbon canitser in the enigine compartment and allows make up air into the gas tank. If there's excess pressure is in the gas tank it will also vent it to the atomoshere.
