what is this thing for?

Might be a magnet valve. If so, you have disabled the heater and AC controls. What's the other side look like?

Put that back! That is the disgronificator. The planet will dissolve if you drive the car without it!

Def magnet valve and bracket. Looks like one is missing. One valve provides vacuum to heater/defrost doors and acuators. The other valve works with A/C fast idle.

It was like this when I bought the car. I'll just mount it under that shelf bracket thing by the battery or something. Thanks for the help guys

It's a stock part. There are drawings in the FSM, AC section, of where it mounts. The threaded holes will still be there. You 'll need one of them at least if you want your heater controls to work. That might include the vent, depending on year of car. All they need is a vacuum source and the correct wire hooked up, easy.

I still have both magnet valves on my car. I do not use them though. I have bypassed the vacuum to both. My AC is inoperable, never has been since I owned the car. My heater controls work just fine. I may hook them back up some day just to see what difference they make.
