It's a pretty simple matter to get the air assembly off,and is in fact a good idea because the black rubber moulding underneath is prone to cracking which can cause idle problems,while there it gives you a good chance to replace any cracked lines etc.
The sensor you circled with the question mark is a engine water heat sensor to tell the injection and electronic idle control that the engine is warmed up.

Hi...
Guess its Monday in Brisbane
I have had the air cleaner assembly off a few times
Its no problem
The rubber under it is ok
I did clean the assembly
was a small amount of soot
I;d like to clean the throttle body
but the right way not even sure how to go about that yet
Been doing research so I can know my way around in that area
& its hard to find 82/ 83 cars
I remember trying to trace those lines most of which you say got to throttle body or throttle switch & they are hidden
Been reading not to use carb cleaner in throttle body as its much too strong... I got it basically for external cleaning
Good thing I didn't us it in there
as there are seals & things & also a protective coating that could be damaged...
Also you should dab a dot of oil on the shaft when clean...?
Thats my fuel dis & air plate sensor pictured above
I really don't see any vac lines hooked into it
Will have to get a better look but since I live in a community garage & really working on cars is not allowed
I wait til weekdays when most people are in work & then I can do it less noticed...
