Shattered plastic under intake

So, I'm in the process of tearing out the 4.6 in my f150. I pulled the intake and under it was a bunch of broken black plastic. The plastic box towards the front of the intake was fine, however I am curious as to what the other thing used to be. Its been there a while too.

As it stands I have one bolt on the starter that I cant see, one on the ac compressor that I cant get to break loose and the motor mounts, most of the trans bolts are out already.

any thoughts on these bolts I cant see?

2001 f150 4X$ offroad with 4.6 romeo.

Old airbox pieces from a front-end collision that was fixed?

interesting idea, but as far as I know the truck has never been in a wreck, but I have only owned it for the past 4 years. and if they replaced an airbox, you would have thought they would have cleaned the old crap out.

In the insurance-repair business it's all about doing the jobs fast and getting them out the door.

If someone re-built the front end, it sure as heck wasn't for the truck to be a show-piece.
