Yes that is your IAT sensor, it will not hurt it on a 94-97 car since it will not control timing like a 98-02 LS1 car. I cant remember if the 93's are effected by it not working correct, but anyways just pull it out and clean it off and you will be good to go. About 8-9 years ago when I was a newb I thought it made a difference and I extended the wires to place it down in the filter on my CAI.

It picks up the ambient temps a little better when scanning or tuning but that is it, thought it helped relocating to get away from heat soak but no change in tune that I know of.

I miss those days of boltons, now its bend your wallet over and bring the vasoline to make nice gains
