What is this?
What is this? I have started the process of shaving my engine bay...
always wondered what it was and how I could get away removing it?

Re: What is this?
That is NOT the wiper motor. The wiper motor is the next black blob to the left of that, in that pic.
That is the vacuum reservoir. Its job is to store some vacuum so that the little doors in your heater system stay put even when the vacuum drops (such as, accelerating hard).
Like most of the stuff under the hood, best left intact and functional.

Re: What is this?
You can replace it with the later vacuum reservoirs that mounted under the left 'battery' tray in order to hide it.
