Q: Can't find wifi antenna cables on 2006/2007 mac pro

I just installed an Airport card in my 2006 Mac Pro but I cant find antenna cables inside the case? Does anyone know where they'd be located? Were they included with all Mac Pro models, or is mine too old for that? I have experience with this type of stuff, but I don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks,

Luke

Update: I found them under the logic board

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), 16GB RAM, 15", 512GB SSD.

Googling shows that the 2006 does come with the antenna leads. Per

Then may be hidden under the logic board.

They are tucked along the border of the chasis kinda underneath.

Be aware that the wires may be mislabelled.
