You need to incorporate it into the cold air intake system. not to close to the throttle body or the filter but just about in the middle. also make sure you have it facing the correct direction for air flow or else you will flip a code.

If you have a 87 TPI camaro, you already have a cold air kit from the factory. No need to waste money on somthing you dont need.
Do a search on how to modify the lower filter housing.

At the top of the page, (red stripe,white letters) there is a search feature.
Click on that, type in the search box, "modifying a camaro lower filter housing". Or something like that.

The search feature will answer 99% of your questions.
