intake manifold

Ok I have 2003 F350 6.0 I am doing some work on it today on my egr valve. I pulled off the intake manifold and it was bolted to another spacer type thing that had 2 electrical connectors going to it but when I looked there was nothing for the connectors to go to they just plugged into this empty space. the part has a plastic cover on one side that has delphi on it but its all hollow what the hell does this go to and what are these connectors for

There were 04 engines that had a motor operated butterfly there to assist the EGR system. It's normal the 03 engines to have nothing there. Your electrical connectors not having anything to plug into is normal for your engine. Engineering didn't want the connectors hanging loose so they are "plugged in" in the location you found them, even though the holes are empty.
