Air Cleaner Housing Removal

I was driving my 1984 Camaro last night and when I got home I noticed it was leaking coolant. Coolant was on top of the engine so I want to check out the thermostat, but I am not sure how to remove the air cleaner housing. Any help is appreciated. Any other suggestions on things I should do to determine the issue is appreciated as well. Thank you

Just unplug the rubber hoses and the snorkel and it will pull right off.

That was easy. Thank you very much. One last question. There are two sensors in the housing. One is a temp sensor, but I cannot figure out what the other is. Of course, part of this one broke when removing. Any help on what the name of this sensor is?

TVS = Thermo Vacuum switch. If you replace it be sure that you get one that matches..... I think the later cars ( 85-87? ) used one with different sized ports on it.
