It's called a resonator or some such, supposedly it reduces air intake noise. You can ditch it, just plug the hole in the intake tube after you do...
The belt is for the water pump. Welcome to the 4.0! Haha!

Yep that's right, resonator. Useless...but I leave it on. And yep again, waterpump is on the back of the motor driven off of one of the cams.

Interesting. Not a bad idea to have water pump, arguably the most important accessory, on it's own belt.. if main belt goes you can still drive on battery power to limp home.. assuming you keep up on water pump belt. Is there something to plug the hole? I dont need a box in my way and intake noise would be negligible.

The belt that looks like a small serpentine belt drives the water pump

Hi Aurora Girl,
At one time you were interested in purchasing a complete factory service manual set for your car. Did you ever purchase one and if so, how do you like it? I have one for all of my vehicles. Love them!
