No the air charge sensor does not effect the mixture to much and when it gets hot it pulls out timing and some fuel . I have been moving them for years like this. The intake gives it false readings. Moving it works great. Have a great day guys!!

ok moving the ACT is a first for me,, need to understand the pro's and cons
seems like it will reduce fuel economy for those like me who "like that".... I may be wrong.

You mean I drilled and tapped a hole in my explorer intake for nothing. . Looks like it will impede flow too.:punchballs:

The IAT/ACT sensor will start to pull timing around 190 degrees Fahrenheit at WOT.  I've never really found too much info on what -- if anything -- it does under partial load (NOT WOT) conditions.  The EEC-IV is used to seeing it at the position on the intake runner on a 5.0 car.  The ACT spark advance/reduction on an EEC-V equipped vehicle is different altogether besides having it in the air intake before the TB. 

Me personally I'd not move it from the stock location on a 5.0 that is naturally aspirated.  Some forced induction setups call for relocation.

I know for my 4.6 3V it's built into the MAF sensor.  When/if I ever decide to intercool the supercharger on that and crank up the boost it's pretty much a necessity to move it into the intake for safety purposes (i.e. not blowing stuff up).  With the newer cars you have to retune every time you seem to do anything anyhow.....
