Re: What is this

That's the vacuum reservoir for the AC/heater controls..... Removing it will cause air flow through the vents to change top to bottom etc. as engine vacuum drops under acceleration or loads (going up hills).....

Your a/c blend doors are controlled with vacuum. The ball stores vacuum, if you are still running your stock a/c system you need the ball to operate the vents and yes you can relocate it.
