Well whitey68, first off we can't tell if it is what you need if you don't post what car/setup you have. Second if you drive a 5.0 Fox Mustang, that is not ANY of what you need Pimp

Here's a picture of a complete stock engine bay in a Fox Body, 5.0 v8. What you have doesn't really resemble any part of it.

The air box is different, there's no black hose for between the MAF and throttle body. soooo yeah.

Some more pictures for your benefit. On this installation, the ACT was moved from it's stock location on the intake manifold to the airbox. That's not the standard location, it was a mod done to facilitate installation of an Explorer intake.

That's not tha factory airbox for a 1989 Mustang. Looks like a newer Mustang 5.0 airbox.
