The pictures I've seen in FSM show the adjusting motor to be built into the steering column. That suggests that you could remove one from a donor car as a single unit, ready for transplant. To be safe, I would take everything below the steering wheel and down to where it attaches to the steering box, possibly including even the steering lock.
Interesting: "An electrically adjustable telescopic steering column is standard equipment." (1986 W124 "Introduction into service" manual, page 208) Note that adjustment is "in and out," not "up and down." Range of adjustment is 60 mm (~2-1/3 inches).
