That's part of the heater matrix.

I'm not entirely familiar with the internals but I think that is what is called the evapourator assembly. Inside the plastic box is a radiator type matrix. I'd imagine it is enclosed in plastic so that condensation is not allowed to drip into the car.

If you look at the codes and writing on it you will see the word "Zexel". Zexel is the name of the company that makes the air conditioning unit for the SVX.

As Rinus says. You don't need the sunload sensor if the aircon is not working, but I'm presuming you have retained the aircon controller in the dash. So keeping this little lad in place will keep the computer happy.

That's the cooler, so far as I know. Possibly it works in reverse as a Heater in winter. In any case I don't think you can take it out of the equation, but maybe? I don't know a lot about aircon.
