The 'cone' induction kit replaces the restrictive air induction created with the typical ford system,just check the amount of plastic parts you remove when you fit a k&n or any other kit.
The air box contains your original air filter so is not required when you replace to an induction kit,its not used any more so might as well remove it if you want to.But you will need a crankcase breather unless your kit has a take off port for the breather pipe to your crankcase port at the back right hand side as you look at the engine.
