Fuse box removal?
The fuse box looks like it has two handles with swing-release clamps on the front and back ends that would be used to loosen and remove the fuse box, but for what reason, I don't know. Is that clamp and handle setup in place for the the odd occasion when some sort of maintenance requires removal of the box? Maybe there's something mounted below that box that is apt to need repair/replacement at some time?
Anybody know?

Clifftrail is correct. If you plan on doing any work on that side of the engine, you will need to remove the fuse box and it's holder. Once removed, you have access to your spark plugs, headers, etc. The back plug,and back header bolts are still a pain if you don't remove/unbolt the expansion tank and lift it up out of the way.but not necessary.

With 600 posts and many more years of experience than me ......??? No offense, but I am finding that the Sr members who work for suppliers and shops think it's funny to 'Catfish" newer members by playing dumb. If you really want to know how to work on your car use the pay website, it is $20 for 3 days.

Yep, I might be a Senior Member, but up until December 10, all my experience was with our 1972, which we'd owned for a loooong time. Check out my posts on the C3 Forum - I always gave good, detailed assistance, with clear photos or instruction, whenever I could. Our C7 is still 'brand new' to me, and I'm still learning about it. I don't work for a supplier or shop, and I'm not playing dumb - it's genuine!Here's the funny part (I think, anyway) - I use the name Catfish with any number of variations because that word was assigned to me as a temporary username over 20 years ago on some other site, and I liked it, so I've kept it. The funny part is that since that time, the word has taken on, shall we say, a less-than-desireable meaning on the internet
. Oh, well...I'm sticking with it.Larry

Bill,
Well, there I have it; thx! Can't get much more accurate or detailed than the service manual; thx for posting.
That doesn't look like the most straight-forward R&R; glad I have no immediate need to do anything of the sort.
I see Endicott in your sig; my wife and I went to school in Oneonta. Beautiful country, but nasty cold and snowy this time of year. Enjoy the warmer clime of Charlotte!
