This antenna is below the belly, with 2 thick blue wires running to behind the panel where they are snipped off. What is it?

ADF "boat" antenna.    FWIW, the contemporary use seems to be as a wear block to protect the belly in the event of a gear-up landing.    I've seen a couple examples where that worked really well.    ;)

ADF antenna. not that difficult to remove if you want to loose a few pounds and clutter

They are surprisingly light.  1.4-2.4 lb depending on the model.   I left mine on as a wear block as suggested by @EricJ, just in case :unsure:
