I'm thinkin' that the bellows moving in/out from the varying vacuum conditions, will rip it loose. The plug is prolly for a block heater.
You would be better off making something to attach the TB to via the four brass inserts. Or remove the bellows, and put a section of exhaust pipe in there, with a couple of silicone couplers.
But why go through all that trouble with the stock IM/TB? The air box is the best mount made for the oem TB. You could cut large holes in it, and acheive the same result, but with a better mount.

You also need a filter of some sort on the air make up tube that runs to the rear of the valve cover. You are sucking unfiltered air into the engine crankcase. (The tube with the rubber elbow, that is near the red battery (+) cap in the pic.)

No need for an CAI when the Neon comes with one. Just do the right things and your golden.
First step is to put the air box back on.

Second, If you want a little better performance, use a small hole saw and drill a ton of holes in the lower half of your airbox, and use a quality high flow filter in the box, and voila! cool air intake.

I would say go and put the stock box back on, IMO
