Default 1972 Corvette 454 four speed with air, engine wire question

I own a 1972 Corvette 454 four speed with factory air conditioning. I would like to know the purpose of the 2 blue and brown wire connector on the left side of the valve cover as per attached photos.
Where it plugs into? Purpose? Ect. Ect.
My corvette still running points runs perfectly no issues whatsoever.
Thank you.
​​​you.vic






This plug with 2 blue and 2 brown wires where does it attach to and purpose?

TCS Solenoid plug has a double tan and double blue plug. Most TCS systems have been removed by now. Check the tan wire and see if it's tied to the tan wire on the idle stop solenoid to confirm

As always, Mooser answered it again.
Here's a couple pictures from a survivor '72, 454, 4 speed with A/C that give you the location. The second one shows it under the vacuum hose/filter.
