No reservoir and the system works great.

The install is following this diagram (posted in this forum):
they are different, becuase the cluster was a completely new design on the w126 chassis, and included a vacuum tube going into the economy gauge (not present in 1991+ models), which could be used for the vacuum switch.

for the w123 you have to get crafty and choose another vacuum source, which is what mbeige did by using the brake booster as a source.
