I believe you're referring to the heater channels. These run the length of the car on both sides. Typically you have a heat exchanger attached to the exhaust and the exchanger then connects to the heater channels.

If these are open or capped off there's a good chance the car has an aftermarket exhaust attached that didn't include an connection for the heat exchangers so they were removed.

Now, if you're referring to the holes in the body panels on both sides just in front of the wheel, those are the access plates to the torsion bars in the rear suspension.
