1st looks like the IAT sensor.

2nd is the thermal vacuum switch that works the 3rd which is the vacuum motor that controls the valve that brings heated air up from around the exh manifold during cold-start warmups; the system known as "Thermac".

If you're looking to put on a new air cleaner, you only need to keep the sensor in the first pic
