2.3 Plenum/throttle body air diverter?

Im currently doing an engine swap on my 91 with a fresh(er) engine from a 92 TCS car.
I removed the throttle body from the 91 (non TCS) car to put on the new engine, and noticed an extra piece inside the plenum.
...supposedly called an 'air shield'. It mounts on the same bolts as the throttle body, and then tapers inward into the plenum. It seemingly directs air away from #4's runner and forces it back deeper into the plenum.
whats this thing actually supposed to do? Do I need it?
one thought is that it may reduce induction noise some, but im just grasping at straws here...
