Hi all, I am a newbie here.
While lifting my 2012 Civic, I put a rubber pad on the jack, but the jack slipped and pushed up against the radiator area.
The top part of the radiator is broken by being pushed up, so I know I’ll have to replace it, but I’m wondering if I need to replace any other parts.
In the second photo, from the front of the car, I noticed there’s another similar-looking component in front of the radiator, and the bottom part of that is also bent. What is that, and should it be replaced?
Also, there’s a metal pipe running underneath it that’s dented. It might still be usable, but if it needs to be replaced, what’s it called? Is it related to the air conditioner?
The third photo is from a youtube video capture. What I am asking are annotated with two red arrows.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Broken radiator and more parts
Rad and the ac condenser, pipe is probably one of the ac lines. You'll have to take it to a shop for them to evacuate and recharge the system.
and obviously You'll have to bend the rad support back into the right shape
