Have other users removed it? it looks ugly by the way! Whats the name of that metal tube? I hope it does not affect the choke time at the moment starting the car. What i mean is that the car will need more choke time to warm up once i remove this metal tube!

Yes I removed mine. No issues afterwards. Hanging up in the garage at the moment.

Just removed it yesterday without braking any nuts. I really want to know what was the main purpose of this part in the block.

Yes, remove it.  Its the pre-heater for the airbox to be used in colder climates (look at the summer/winter flapper on the orange airbox).  This is what it looks like once its off.  It probably isn't doing any harm, but isn't doing any good either for your situation.
