What is this

No doubt you can remove it......not hooked to anything now....lol. It is curious though. I briefly had a 71' Scamp w/fact a/c and i don't remember anything like that? I was 30+ years ago though :D. You might be able to check a wiring diagram if you can figure out what wires might have gone to it. A picture with it removed may give a better clue also?
