What are these 4 sensors??? between bumper and radiator support

My fc is finally getting ready to run again after being apart for almost 4 years.

I searched around and couldn't find anything on these sensors, there are 4 of them between the front bumper and radiator support. see pic below.

I'm wondering if they are important and just relocate them, or if i can pull them out and toss them. The space they are in now is where my battery is going to be.

REMOVED: all emissions have been removed, AC/heater motor and dash components, air pump, power steering, TMIC, cold start, more that i can't think of right now.

INSTALLED: 60-1 turbo, custom 3" Down pipe, stainless manifold, ssqv Bov, FMIC, 50mm waste gate, walbro 255 fuel pump, 6an fuel system, aeromotive FPR, micro battery, Rtek7 2.0 ecu, innovative wide band,

One is a headlight relay. One is for the retractor motors.

You can relocate them.

You'll have to determine which is which by the wire colors/amount of wires in the plug but usually the #4 position would be the Dimmer relay followed by the Headlight relay followed by the Cooling Fan relay and then if the car is/was an Automatic then the next would be the Lock Up relay and then the 4 A/T relay but you only have four of the five possible relays.

I loosened off my horns and attached the relays on the horn mount.
