'71 Charger mystery flasher/relay

I've been going through the dash wiring harness double checking some work I paid a shop way too much to get wrong and trying to make sure wires are properly hooked up. I found this seemingly extra flasher or relay that's wired to the battery feed and to the L31A circuit (dark blue/yellow) in the concealed headlamp wiring. There is no plug with yellow, yellow, pink, and yellow w/tracer wires on the instrument panel wiring diagram in the service manual. However, on the instrument panel accessory wiring page there is such a plug in the time delay and low fuel relay wiring. My car does not have this accessory, so I'm pretty sure I can just remove this thing and be done with it. How it's half-assed wired in there with the J5A circuit yellow wire tied to the L31A circuit and the X1A circuit pink wire connected to the battery feed with the J5 yellow and the M6B yellow w/tracer just hanging, I have no idea what the "hot rod" shop thought is was going to do. So, for my own piece of mind, can someone confirm that this is indeed a time delay relay that I don't need and can ditch?

yes, just a time delay relay ......used for ignition switch light, or other items that you mentioned

Not needed if you don't want it
