What is this?

I am re-routing and hiding the engine bay wiring. What is the box/module above the brake booster for?

Re: What is this?

My shop teacher told me that was only a wiper motor... I'm trying to find the headlight module, is it in there or is he entirely wrong? I'm probably going to take the cover off and look for myself next time I get the chance. Mine's an '84 too if that makes a difference.

87 up Firebirds had the headlight door module as circled above, the wiper motor is to the left of the green circle. Here's a better pic, post 5 in this thread:

Your shop teacher's right - yours being an 84 doesn't have the headlight module, instead 3 relays around the front of the engine bay.
